Scott, If you have only seen them in pictures, and would like to see one, hold it and check a Recoil guide out, send me an e-mail, or call me. Pete ACK Fishing & Tackle pmaltby@ackfishing.com 866-285-0673

Scott, The recoil guide frames and rings are composed of 100% nickel titanium alloy (shape and memory material). They are ultra light and damage resistant, and 100% saltwater resistant. Many people I sell them to, buy them because they are light, look unique, and are able to bounce back if they get bent, stepped on etc. for some reason.

Hi Billy: We do not shape them. They come pre shaped and are part of the Moosekin® line-up of EVA products. Merrick has sold them now for a number of years, and we carry them also. They are produced and shaped that way on a special machine that the manufacturer uses. Who, how, and what machine does this I do not have answers for you on that. They come in lengths of 6"-14&qu

The facts about Merrick's show are listed above which looks like there will be at least 33 reps from different companies attending, plus a couple of displays. I suppose if the basis for you to attend solely rests on which models and how many CTS blanks will be on display, and you live far away, it may not be worth it. Unfortunately, you would miss out on all of the other fine companies being re
