Product Details
Why RingLock?
American Tackle Ring Lock™ guides are designed for the ultimate in performance and durability. They incorporate a system of pressure fit, enlarged glue reservoir and increased contact area around the ceramic ring to dramatically reduce ring failure. Added bracing and unique frame features greatly reduce ring popping lateral torque through a more stable frame. ATLAS 316SS™ frame material adds tremendous strength to weight ratio giving this series of guides the edge to outlast and outperform all others.
Ring Lock System
The Ring Lock system is focused on preventing ring loss and protection from impact to provide the strongest and most innovative guide on the market today!
ATLAS 316 Stainless Steel
Frames comprised of 316SS stainless steel adds tremendous strength to weight ratio giving this series of guides the edge to outlast and outperform all others.

The American Tackle Company is proud to own the official Ring Lock™ Patented Design. US-Patent No. D627,032
Ring Materials — Advanced Ceramics
Nanolite™ Ring
The strength of our NanoLite ring allows elimination of material which results in reduced weight without sacrificing strength. Hardness and low coefficient of friction means these rings will easily handle all of today's modern braids and super lines.
Duralite™ Ring
A new and improved, proprietary high grade Aluminum Oxide based ring material allows for the reduction of material volume meaning lighter weight and higher compression strength. Economical and highly durable, these rings are popular with rod manufacturers.
Tip Top Sizing
Insert Ring/Loop Sizing
The first measurement in a Tip-Top is the Inside Diameter (I.D.) of the ring (eyelet) in Millimeters. Generally, the I.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.
