Fuji Bsvlg #50

Just got off the phone with a leading rod Mfg. They said they can no longer offer the Bsvlg 50 on their rods because Fuji has discontinued it.
Just a heads up, get them while you can.

Wonderful news.

Cold War era design should have been done away with long ago.



You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.

Nevr needed on a braid rod but for guys using heavy mono on big faced reels , I think they still have their place.

Gonna make repairing the rods that people not well off use as they can't afford the new stuff. Just gonna leave Pac Bay and that stuff is junk. Most of the repairs are pac bay guides that the rings fall out of.
