Can anyone provide any feedback on these guides... I have seen some of the major players are offering them now...
What are the advantages or disadvantages?
I know they are durable but do they cause friction problems with your line?
Are they lighter than regular titanium guides?

Thanks,

I have not noticed any problem at all with friction on my line.

All I can say is they are awesome. I wouldnt want any other kind now that I've used them. They are on my Laguna.

They are awesome. I wouldn't have anything else.

All of the above and one more thing...

They are 70% lighter than the top of the line FUJI components we use...

We have our ProStaff throwing every type of line imagineable through them and the feedback is 100% positive from our ProStaff.

We do tip our rods with a FUJI tip now to cut out any chance of wrapping of braided around the RECOIL tip.

If you have any ?'s call me.

So no one misunderstands. I wasn't taking a shot a Jode or Laguna. I fish Lagunas, and know Jode, Danny and Jeff personally. I was an inside joke making fun of myself. I had old PP on and that stuff gets real limp, I got it wraped around the eye on one of the demo rods and I snapped the end off it trying to untie it. Jode was pleased,lol. My fault, and all my Lagunas have the recoil eyes on them including the tip.

Only drawback I know of is that they make a nit more raquet than standard guides when using braided line. But I chose them recently too.
