The cheapest ALPS guides come with a titanium carbide ring in them so has anyone any experience of them?

Thanks

Yes I use them occasionally when the customer won't pay top price .I guess that I would have built around 12 rods using them over a number of years .So far never a problem with them & all saltwater rods .

There are a ton of ALPS guides being used with wonderful experiences. Just trying to clarify when you say "titanium carbide ring"??
