The company says they can and will not groove under braid. I have not had any problems so far but have only had them on some rods for a couple years. No way for me to say what they may look like five years from now. Re: Pac-bay Minima Guides

Good reading. I was curious about other builders experiences. I am getting a lot of repairs in with guide rings popped out. It appears the majority are
being stepped on while laying on the boat deck. That's all part of being a Bass tournament fisherman I guess. I don't mind fixing them if they don't mind breaking them. J.B.Hunt Bowling Green, KY Re: Pac-bay Minima Guides

JB,
Several years of using Pac Bay Minima 4 guides. O rods have come back with any guide complaints from using minima 4 guides. However, I did have some issues with minima 3 guides and won't use them. Be safe Edited 2 time(s). Last edit at 11/24/2013 10:45AM by roger wilson. Re: Pac-bay Minima Guides

I have them on a Batson CB66M that I use for walleye shore casting at night. Many thousands of casts with 8# Fireline and no issues at all. I'm using the Minima 4 M guides, 4W runners and Minima tip.

Sounds like you need larger sizes like maybe 6's for that icing Bill - willierods.com Re: Pac-bay Minima Guides

Only happened a couple times. Not an issue. It was last night of the season last year. _________________________________________ "Angling is extremely time consuming. That's sort of the whole point." - Thomas McGuane Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
