Hey guys. Im sure there are a ton of these floating around but specifically for offshore big game rods and roller guides what finish would you say works the best against cracking? Ive been told classics but Im not sure if I should try the pro flex or the high build or something completely different. Just wanted you opinions. Thank you!

If your guide feet are't well tapered then just about any fishing is going to crack at the guide foot end.
