An A frame guide has two feet that rise and cross into a single apex, so the ring is braced from both sides instead of hanging off one leg. That triangle is what resists sideways twist: when a fish runs across the boat, or a heavy sinker swings on the drop, the load is split between two wrap positions on the blank rather than concentrated at one. It is the frame to pick when the rod will be pulled from angles it was never cast at. The ring sits in American Tackle's patented Ring Lock seat (US Patent D627,032), a pressure-fit ring in an enlarged glue reservoir. Eight sizes are stocked, 6 mm to 30 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA frame (double foot, crossed leg) construction for resistance to lateral twist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNano ring — the lighter of the two ring materials American Tackle uses in this range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChrome-finished stainless frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing Lock pressure-fit ring seat with enlarged glue reservoir (US Patent D627,032)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEight ring sizes: 6, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25 and 30 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel 64NCRLA, sold as individual guides, SKUs coded by ring size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Build With It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhere the A frame earns its place\u003c\/strong\u003e — Use it on blanks that get side-loaded: boat rods, jigging and popping builds, heavy shore casters.
