Frank, Paul, NIB,
Thanks for the compliments - glad you enjoyed the article.
Hope it provided some insight and you were able to glean some advantage when chasing Roccus.

I was speaking in generalities..
I have not enjoyed the article yet as it usually arrives on Fridays for me in NJ..
I hope to glean a advantage..When it arrives.. 
I did read a interesting article in the NJ Fisherman.Fred Golafaro did a side by side casting distance comparison.The test was fairly complete using braid and 10' rods with the Fugi System guides vs the standard surf guides.Whatever they are..He also used 2 or 3 different reels.The Van Stall 250 vs the Zee Bass.The other reel I do not recall, maybe a Spheros...Only moderate distances where achieved with the Fugi system guides.Around 5%..The Van Stall out casted the ZB..by the same moderate difference..
It did not surprise me really. I primarily use a rod with them big wire frame guides..Only times I get out done is by lighter line.Most times..There are the freaks of nature like Slip..  |
FORE!
It's usually darkest just before it turns Black..

Gaaahaha...old guy rod 
Well.... actually I've got an old honey 10'6" Lami that's set up the same way - and when I re-wrap it I'm still gonna use wire guides. My favorite eel stick.
Hey, wait a minute - NIB, are you and me the only 2 who took Friday off too? |

No I'm just procrastinating..I have to clean out my truck..
I would rather clean the toilet..Not that my truck is a toilet.Well it is sometimes.I have to take all the tools out an jam em in the space of the garage that is not covered with fishing tackle.Clean it up so I am not slleping in a pile of cement.. then load up for my week long trip...
Alright it's now or never..I'm going in..
Good by cruel world.. |
