American Tackle RingLock Casting & Stripping Guides

Product Details

American Tackle’s patented Ring Lock system—designed to virtually eliminate ring loss. The pressure-fit design, enlarged glue reservoir, and increased ring-to-frame contact area combine with added bracing to resist lateral torque and protect against impact. Built with ATLAS 316 stainless steel frames, these guides deliver exceptional strength-to-weight performance for long-lasting reliability.

Choose from three premium ring options:

  • Nanolite – Ultra-strong, lightweight ceramic ideal for modern braids and super lines
  • Duralite – High-grade aluminum oxide for a balance of durability, performance, and value
  • NanoPlasma – Diamond-polished Nanolite with PVD coating for near-zero friction and extended line life

Features:

  • Patented Ring Lock system for superior ring retention and impact protection
  • ATLAS 316 stainless steel frames for strength, corrosion resistance, and reduced weight
  • Available with Nanolite, Duralite, or NanoPlasma ring options
  • Ideal for casting rods and fly rod stripping guides requiring maximum durability

Great stripping guide

Used for a recent 4wt build - works like a champ and looks great. I usually buy Fuji, but this guide is actually pretty good value

Stripper Guide

Love this guide. The ring material is hard, durable, and slick. The finish is beautiful and goes with any TiCh guide bodies.

They are very versatile. Great selection on the size and the blue color goes good with specific designs.

Good Affordable Guide

I bought a 16 and 10 for a stripper set on a 7wt fast action rod. The guides themselves seem fairly well made, with no real issues. You will need to file the foot a little to get a more gradual ramp or else it will be hard to stop thread from slipping off. Just remember don’t use a permanent marker to reapply a black paint (it will react with epoxy). Use a liquid based black paint marker, or a quick shot of spray paint.

No issues with trueness of the guide. Overall a great guide for the price and will be buying more for future builds.

Great guides for price

I have built many rods. Partial to single foot guides. I like the ringlock guides for weight and durability. Love the Titan titanium guides for saltwater here are the guides on a Safe Salt 3 11 wt. Fished a lot in saltwater for tarpon 6-7 trips no impact. More expensive but if building for salt spend the extra $40 for the guides.

It should have included dimensions. I ordered it and it was way too small.
