Like a high modulus fiber it is stronger but far more brittle. Our SS A-Frames are far stronger than the same in Titanium but they are twice the weight. If you had the equivalent weight in titanium the titanium guide would be stronger. If you are looking for durabilty over performance Titanium is NOT the way to go. There are bullet proof guides out there but they a lot heavier and they may rust o

Hi Guys, The Titan guides are made of a Titanium Alloy and ounce per ounce stronger than SS...........but they are not as elastic. So while you may be able to bend a SS guide back into place when flattened on a blank you may not be able to do that with a titanium guide. You are talking about a Ferrari here. This is a high performance guide designed not to corrode and be half the weight of its

Hi Shawn, First off I'm not picking on you and I enjoy the exchange. It will make us build better products. I have twisted and bent Fuji's guides and mine as well and the Fuji's I have don't bend back into shape. But let’s just say for argument sake that theirs bends back. Does this make them much much much better? I can bend mine back myself, they don't snap off and I can be fishing agai

Hi Shawn, What do you find much much much better when comparing Fuji's titanium and our Titan guides? Have you compared the two side by side? I have put them both in front of Fuji cu
