CRB LZR Light-Duty Tip Top Guides - Model LZT

The LZR line of spinning and casting guides marks CRB’s lightest and most innovative rod guide system to date.

The advanced engineering of the ultra-thin, super light zirconium insert provides a high-density, polished ring that is then pressed into the stainless steel frames. Featuring a larger and smoother opening, the zirconia insert rings bring increased durability for braid as well as enhanced heat dissipation that reduces wear on fishing line and increases casting distance and accuracy.

From reducing line tangles and overall weight, to increasing casting distance, strength, and ring retention, the CRB LZR guides combine superior performance and unbeatable value for rod builders everywhere.

CRB introduces the LZR line of rod guides as its lightest and most advanced design yet in a family of high-performance rod components. Engineered with ultra-thin, super light zirconia rings, the LZR guides incorporate a high-density, polished insert ring that is 50% thinner than standard ceramic rings with an inner diameter up to 10% larger than comparable guides.

This guide technology allows the LZR series to be incredibly light, yet durable enough for the toughest braid—while also featuring enhanced heat dissipation that reduces wear on fishing line and increases casting distance as well as accuracy.

The LZR Guides are available in single-foot spinning, double-foot casting, medium-duty spinning/casting, running guides, and even tip tops; light and medium-duty.

Insert Ring/Loop Sizing

The first measurement in a Tip-Top is the Outside Diameter (O.D.) of the ring (eyelet) in Millimeters. Generally, the O.D. of the ring will match the smallest guide on the rod. Standard sizes are 6, 8 and 10mm for conventional rods, while heavier saltwater rods may go as high as a 16mm ring.

Tube Sizing

The second measurement in a Tip-Top is the Inside Diameter (I.D.) of the tube, measured in 1/64ths of an inch. Tube sizes generally range from 3.5 to 12, but they go all the way up to 32 (.500") in Big Game roller tops. The tube size should correspond to the tip size given by the manufacturer of your blank.
