Wire Guides and Braid

[Mike P]

Mono eats wire guides, so braid will just do it faster. Before ceramics came out, I'd get maybe two seasons out of a set of wire guides. The ones nearest the tip groove first, but eventually you'll replace them all, so I always did the whole set.

yes, ss/wire guide will wear faster. also, you do not need guide sizes as large as the old school mono belief w/ braid.
