if you are fishing braid, you really should go with a quality ring material. i always suggest fuji. hardloy works, but it is a little more brittle and softer, thus possible groving. a better choice would be an SiC, alconite, or silicon nitride guides, depending on the rod's purpose. stainless guides, especially tips, will grove over time. your best bet, take the rod to your local tackle shop and have a tip measured for it. ask for one of the tips recommended above. if it's not available, buy a hardloy, keep it as a backup, and order one of the recommended tip materials above in the size you ust bought. fuji pst, mnst, ust, and bmnat are some of the frames you are looking for.
