The hype:
Pure titanium, no inserts to crack chip fade or peel!

Llightest weight, not quite highest cost.

Easy to wrap.

The blues:
Tiptops are not preferred, use alconite, etc.

Hard to get http://www.merricktackle.com/gear.htm (wholesale only iirc)
there is a pic one page down.

Ok, so I've got about a dozen St Croic Premier rods laying around.
They all have one thing in common - the eyes &/or tip tops are messed
up. I'm going to keep my good buddy Steve Huber busy for a week or so
this winter by having him rewrap them all with top-quality guides.
So, what are the best & how much do they cost?

Funny, I love the Premiers but the guides just stink. I've never had
a blank or any other part of the rods let me down, but c'mon St Croix!

I built a rod for a guy that specified Recoils. I'm not impressed with
them. They are expensive, look cheap and I don't think that they offer any
particular advantage other that the "Cool Factor" of "Look, I can bend my
guides and they snap back!"

Personally, give me Fuji Alconite or Fuji SIC, that's what's on all of my
rods.

Warren, if you want, send me those rods this winter and I'll fix them for
you. If I remember correctly, St. Croix uses Fuji Alconite on their Premier
series of rods. They're good guides, but occasionally "poop occurs."
