Ran across this the other day, so whats the skinny all you custom rod guru's? Is this the next new big thing, does it only work for smaller lighter rods, or are we all guna be eating each other alive over getting these things next year for our surf outfits?
Interesting... Line is on a two way street. What happens when reeling in with bend in the rod, under load? Would like to see that video. Braid friendly?
Prototypes have been around for maybe 5 years. its a cool idea but time will tell what applications catch on and if there are any hidden pitfalls. I prefer to let others be the guinea pigs on these exotic ideas.
I microwaved a set of guides once it was crazy Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device
Depending on the wattage of your particulat microwave, you have to be careful. I've burned microwave popcorn because I put it in for the recommended time on the package, but it cooked much faster.
Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

Mike I'm in the process of building a Century 1025 using these guides for the build. After looking at them, no way would I build a big rod with them, but they look to be perfect for what i'm doing. If I can get the rod built I may bring it with me to Rissa for people to check out. My Ci 4000 Stradic should be a great match for this rod.
The marketing is tough for the custom builder as well - the guides are only available as a set - if you want single foot guides towards the tip, you throw away the extra microwaves - or save them for making popcorn!
It's like a new Windows operating system; you never really want to have it until all of the bugs have been worked out.
What is the advantage of the two rings? Wouldn't the line get reduced down to the smaller ring immediately? Why not just have the smaller ring and save the weight? I must be missing something...
I wondered the same thing and i think it is the film speed
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
looks like the smaller ring attached to the first and largest guide acts like a reducer /it limits and creates a focus before it continues to the second guide and so on ,and this may improve castability but not in a real birds nest when it would just fly out,it will now snag in the guide.
