American Tackle Titanium Virtus Heavy Cast/Troll Nanolite Ring Guide 64NIRLVH

The 64NIRLVH is the Titanium Virtus Heavy in the a heavy guide sold singly in six sizes from 10 mm to 30 mm, and the one model here named by its maker for both hard casting and trolling. That dual brief separates it from a pure troll frame. A casting rod must release line cleanly off a spinning spool, which needs a genuinely large stripper; a trolling rod must hold a loaded arc for hours without the frame twisting. The ladder running up to 30 mm covers the first, the heavy frame section the second. It suits a builder putting together one blank that will pop, jig and then troll home.

Key Features

  • Titanium Virtus Heavy frame, named by the maker for both casting and trolling duty
  • Ring-lock ring retention, indicated by the RL in the model code
  • Six ring sizes: 10, 12, 16, 20, 25 and 30 mm
  • 30 mm top size, large enough for a spinning-reel stripper on a heavy blank
  • Model 64NIRLVH, with SKUs coded by ring size

How To Build With It

  • Sizing the stripper for PE — On a heavy spinning build put the 30 mm closest to the reel so the cone off a 6000–14000 spool is gathered without slapping the frame; drop to 25 mm on smaller reels.
  • Fast reduction, then a long run — Take the cone down quickly through 25 and 20 mm, then run 16, 12 and 10 mm the length of the blank so line is already near-straight well before the tip.
  • Building for two jobs — If the rod will troll as well as cast, static-test at the deeper trolling curve rather than the casting curve; that is the arc the frames spend the most hours in.
  • Wrapping heavy feet — Ramp the feet with a flat file until thread climbs without a step, wrap both feet, then finish in two thin epoxy coats.
