Does anyone have any info on these guides. I was contemplating building a GSB1201L with these guides. Considering their lightweight and shape memory when hit. Do they hold up to braid. The adds say they do but I would like to here from some one who has experience these. I would use a 40, 25, 20, 16, 12 & 12 SIC tip. I wonder with their lightweight they would help speed up the recovery rate in this blank. Is the 40 MM guide suffice w/a VS 250 and braid? I'm a traditionalist when it comes to building surf rods. 50's and 16 tips. Your expertise is welcomed.
