3 Levels of Performance
1. STANDARD
RING: ALUMINUM OXIDE
FRAME: PREMIUM SS
LAYOUT: CONE OF FLIGHT
RODS UP TO 6'0": 10-8-6-6-6-6-6
RODS 6'6" TO 8'0": 12-10-8-6-6-6-6-6-6
Our STANDARD guides feature traditional "cone of flight" layouts with Aluminum Oxide ceramic insert rings. Created decades ago, Aluminum Oxide is one of the very first ceramic insert materials - but don't let it's age fool you - Aluminum Oxide guides are still widely deployed on fishing rods today. Excellent performance to value ratio.
2. PERFORMANCE
RING: TITANIUM OXIDE
FRAME: PREMIUM SS (DEEP PRESSED)
LAYOUT: CONCEPT-STYLE
RODS UP TO 6'0": 8-6-5-5-5-5-5
RODS 6'6" TO 8'0": 8-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5
RODS 8'6" TO 9'6": 12-10-8-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6
PERFORMANCE guides have "Concept"-style layouts for improved castability and an improved, high grade Titanium Oxide ring. Titanium Oxide allows for a slightly thinner and stronger ring when compared to the Standard guides.
3. ELITE
RING: ZIRCONIUM OXIDE
FRAME: PREMIUM SS (DEEP PRESSED)
LAYOUT: CONCEPT-STYLE
RODS UP TO 6'0": 8-6-5-5-5-5-5
RODS 6'6" TO 8'0": 8-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5
RODS 8'6" TO 9'6": 12-10-8-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6
ELITE grade guides are also offered in a "Concept-Style" layout and are constructed with diamond polish Zirconium Oxide inserts. The ELITE guides feature a thinner profile ring with an ultra-smooth bezel resulting in lighter weight, and superior performance capable of taming the most aggressive braided lines.
