George I've been on the fence with the RV guides waiting for SS frame. Last year I built a 1087 FSC for a friend w/titanium tip to collector. RV 25, 16, K12M, KT8 runners and an Arowana ti tip. Extremely light and nice looking but "too" rich for my blood. Nonetheless rod casts amazing and responsive tip. I figure I'll do the Infinity rod with single reduction and if I decide, I'll to change when the S'S RV ' S are available.

I wish I could get an Arowana Titanium tip in a 10 and 11 tube/8 or 10 ring to try and diminish tip catching on the backswing but as far as I can tell they stop at size 8 tube.
