I picked up a med spinning travala rod, they are sweat, but I opted for hardloy guides. SIC guides IMHO are a complete waste of money, I've been fishing braid since it was introduced and some of the rods still have the original set of hardloy guides; never any problems.
I have a question, has anyone been using the flexible wire for the terminal connection or the wire slug hooks, similar to that shown in the Shimano video I got with the purchase? Curious what is the best bet, I'm not looking forward to donated $12 jigs to garter blues off the Vineyard. I'm considering my options here, looking for the flexible wire, or going considerably heavier on the fluro connection.
