Your Triflex has BNOG casting guides. Some guys reprot problems with braid tangling around the guide feet on those. But if you're not having problems there, you won't with the bigger guides.
yea Mike I know its just a factory rod ,,but 3 yrs. loving the Tri-Flex..Custom rods have been staying home .. I think I might just take your advice and try as is .. Hate the weight of the big guides though ... feels top heavy and lazy.. I'm as poor as a sparrow now and would have to do it myself anyway.. ... Thanks all for advice ...
