I still cant figure out why they use these guides on the rods that are so expensive! Offering the warranty that both you and I offer........we would never think of building with them.
Been saying it for years........once you make a decision to spend? $150 on a rod.......use a builder and go custom! We have been getting on average 2-3 a week for repairs. I probably turn away another 2-3 per week, because the people opt to send it back and pay the warranty fee!
Truth is, the guides you and I use are faster guides, so you get more distance. They will not crack, they do not fall out ( inserts) and they look a hell of alot better.
Great topic here......its 100% true!! I still cant figure out the logic behind it???? All that money spent......on a rod that a good builder would refuse to build.
Get yourself a Fish Poison......instead!!! They cast further!
