TiC is a Titanium plating finish on S-4 Stainless Steel frames and is only available with SiC rings. Being the hardest plated finish available on Fuji guides, TiC is extremely tough and the best finish you can choose for guides used in saltwater fishing. The fly enthusiast can now choose from a variety of guide finishes including Chrome and Titanium. Again through the efforts of FUJI's engineers, they have managed to make a fly guide with a Silicon Carbide ring that is as light as any snake guide. With one of the smoothest ceramic rings ever made, Silicon Carbide offers unbelievable casting performance over a traditional snake guide. Also since Fuji's fly guides have a single foot, weight is reduced and rod action enhanced. Tradition will fly out the window once you've tried Fuji's new single foot fly guides. There is no comparison. Matching Tops - CFST Series Click here for general information about Fuji Guides.
