I have had the opportunity to examine these guides from REC. They are made
of a nickel plated spring steel. Not exactly what I would use on a custom
rod. Might as well be using boat guides. JMHO!

I just received some that I'm putting on a rod at the insistence of a
client. I'm doing so with the understanding that he's the "guinea pig" and
that we might be replacing the guides down the road.

But he's ok with that. I'm not impressed with them at first examination. I
doubt if they'll hold up well.
