A nickel titanium alloy, hhhmmm anyone ever broke a Terminator
spinnerbait?
Oh and I see Michael that you are still a spokesperson for Waterloo rods.

Ever flex a guide frame as often as a spinnerbait frame?
I think you've achieved Curmudgeon status there Rodmaker - I'm envious as
I'm only an Old-Fart-in-Training



Still not what I would put on a "custom" rod , but then Waterloo isn't
really building custom rods , now are they?

Spring steel? Where did you get that?

The RECOIL (their caps, not mine) guides are nickel titanium alloy. I've
actually seen them on a rod, albeit a broken one... They weigh
practically
nothing, so the overall rod weight goes down. The guides are becoming
quite
popular with Waterloo customers.

Anyway, I think they are intriguing, and am anxious to try them out. As
I
said, I'll let you know...

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!
