Fuji Arrowana Top in Alconite TLGAT-5-5

I see on the Anglers Reaource site that the Areowana (KG) top is made with the Alconite size 5 ring with the size 5 tube, but do not see it available anywhere. Does anyone kmow if this particular item will be coming back, or has Fuji decided to limit that top size to SiC and Torzite rings only going forward?

Thanks,
Gib

KG hasn't gone anywhere. In fact Fuji has expanded the selection. We will probably carry up to a size 8 by fall but they will be available only in Titanium TORZITE® and SiC. This is, IMO, the best top Fuji has ever built. Short tube, very strong, flanged in TORZITE® and completely tangle free.

I didn't mean to imply that the KG top was going away! :) I want to know if the Titanium Alconite version (ring size 5, tube size 5) is going away or where I can find one?

Thanks!

Titanium ALCONITE will go away but it's way to soon to worry about it.
