AMERICAN TACKLE - NANOLITE TICH RING TICH FRAME SINGLE FOOT FLY GUIDE 64TTRLF FISHING ROD GUIDE

American Tackle Nanolite TICH Ring, TICH Frame, Single Foot Fly Guide 64TTRLF

This is the fully matched member of the 64 Ring Lock fly trio: a single-foot fly guide where the Nanolite ring and the frame both carry the TICH titanium-tone finish, offered in 6, 8 and 10 mm. That is the one real difference between it and the 64NTRLF — there the TICH treatment is on the frame only, here ring and frame read as one piece. Underneath is the same Ring Lock seat American Tackle patented (US Patent D627,032): a pressure-fit ring held in an enlarged glue reservoir with extra contact area, so it is trapped mechanically rather than by adhesive alone. Single foot plus a light ring keeps mass low along the whole blank.

Key Features

• Single-foot frame — one wrap, one foot, least added weight per station
• Nanolite ring in the TICH finish, matched to the TICH frame
• Ring Lock pressure-fit ring seat with enlarged glue reservoir (US Patent D627,032)
• Three ring sizes: 6, 8 and 10 mm
• Model 64TTRLF, SKUs coded by ring size

How To Build With It

• Set the foot to the blank first — A single foot must sit flush on a curved surface. Check the foot against the blank at its station and adjust the ramp with a file before wrapping; a foot that rocks will lift a wrap later.
• Build the whole train in one finish — Because ring and frame match, a full 6/8/10 mm train reads as a set. Mixing in a bright chrome tip top undoes that, so size the tip top to the last 6 mm guide and match its tone.
• Weight-forward lines — Saltwater and heavier weight-forward heads shoot a lot of running line fast. Keep 10 mm rings low on the blank so the head clears without slapping frames, and reserve 6 mm for the tip section.
• Handle single-foot guides gently — They take side impact less well than a two-foot frame. Wrap fully to the toe, seal with two thin epoxy coats, and store the rod in a tube.
