tom , just got your email, thanks, and i have responded.

note to self...follow da rules! :)

Matt,
Since you are a chater captain I'll assume that these rods will see some routine, heavy workouts (casting, jigging - that is more than once a week for months at a time). If the water is fairly 'clean' with not much in the way of suspended particles - ocean, inshore & fairly deep over sandy bottom or
rocks then the hardloy will work fine for you. If however, you are thinking about use in roiled water (suspended mud, silt and fine sand) on a fairly regular basis then you can go "half the way" to SIC with the titanium nitride or silver titanium rings from American Tackle , save yourself some $$ over the cost of SIC guides as well. For saltwater applications I'd also recommend you look at the gunsmoke finished guides (I think they may also be called "black chrome").

Hardaloy will work just fine.

thanks guys, im gonna keep the sic's on my heavily used rods and use the hardloys on some of my lighter use rods.

thanks again, this board is awesome.
