American Tackle Heavy Duty Conventional Guide Kits - 40-80LB

Built for the toughest saltwater challenges, Virtus Heavy Ring Lock® Guides deliver extremestrength in a sleek performance driven package. Designed to perform under pressure, these guides are ideal for anglers and rod builders who demand ultimate durability without unnecessary weight, making them an ideal choice for offshore applications.

At the core of the design is American Tackle’s patented Ring Lock® system, which securely locks the ceramic ring in place to resist torque, impact, and heavy loads. This innovative construction significantly reduces the risk of ring loss, even when fishing braid or applying extreme pressure. The double-foot frames are crafted from corrosion-resistant ATLAS 316 stainless steel, providing exceptional strength, balance, and long-term reliability in both heavy freshwater and saltwater offshore environments.

This Virtus Heavy Ring Lock Guide Kit features the NanoLite ring which offers lightweight performance with high tensile strength and excellent braid compatibility. With a robust overall build and proven strength, these guide kits are designed for your 40-80lb Conventional Offshore Builds. Each set is organized to accommodate rods either up-to 6’6” or up-to 8’0” as well as the size of the running guides. For lighter applications and smaller knots, choose the set with the size 8 running guides but for those higher line-class builds, choose the set with the size 10 running guides.
