blcag's are fuji lowrider guides with an alconite ring. they are also consider concept by fuji, at least how they are categorized. mnsg are concept guides using a sic ring and bmnag are the same, but use a alconite ring. there are a lot of "concept" guides out now from double foot to single foot. fuji is slowly discontinuing some of the older guide setups, such as the pst tips.
the fuji concept principle is about using a collector guide almost half the size as traditionally used and choke the line down quickly. then, using the same size running guide to the tip. usually there are 2-4 choke guides.
the lowrider was originally designed for longer surf spinning rods, those over 12'. the placement of the "catch guide" is about 47", but a lot of that depends on the angle of the reel's foot, line used, spool diameter, etc. recently, fuji has started to incorporate this system on rods under 9'. some people have built rods in the 10-11' range with this system and it has worked for them. this system can also be used for people building a dual purpose rod - spin and cast.
