Hi Bryan,

Why not try our new solid titanium Titan guides with the new Nanolite ring? They're priced a bit more than stainless but only slighly more. Check them out on our web site: [americantackle.us]

Here is some more info:

ATC’s new Titan frames are made out of a solid titanium alloy. Titanium has half the weight of stainless which makes these guides feather light. The titanium frame will not corrode even in saltwater. This means not only will you have less ring and frame failure than stainless steel but they will maintain their good looks for years to come. The all new Nanolite rings are ground round to extend line life, diamond polished to improve casting distance and have hardness factors so high they can handle any synthetic line made today. They are the ultimate in high performance which makes them the only choice for fishermen that demand the best.

Warmest regards, Joe Meehan, American TAckle co.
