Opinions on the stainless steel guides???
I like the idea of no ceramic inserts to crack,,I don't see any disadvantage using them on a musky rod where your lobbing huge baits even bucktails with thick line. I can understand ceramic on a rod that requires sensitivity like walleye jigging or rigging rods or a steelhead drift rod. I know the chaos rods have them.
Why don't we see this more on musky rods??
