For Saltwater Rods, corrosion is definitely an issue. American Tackle offers 316 stainless for excellent resistance to corrosion and discoloration. We also offer our TITAN line of guides, made of a solid titanium alloy. These guides are extremely light weight and 100% corrosion proof! The TITAN series has also expanded to include a TITAN Ring Lock guide with a press-fit frame, so corrosion and ring pop out are a thing of the past. Check them out and you will love them! All of these guides are in stock and ready to go.

Jay,,, probably no need to mark the thread. There are many others in the past, and probably something similar every month.
BTW,,,, I just picked up some of those PacBay Coastbuster blanks from both @#$%& and donart. At $20ish a pop, it's as cheap as the cheapest generally around. I overdid it and picked up 14 blanks in various sizes, including one each of the donart grafighter-ish specials. :-O. Hard for me to walk past a deal. So I guess I will be putting some together for friends as presents later.
Note that @#$%& also has specials on eva grip packages right now that work out pretty cheap per grip. You just have to be ready to deal with color. Forces some extra creativity I guess.
