| I'm looking to order a custom diamondback rod(8' MH) from Thorne Bros and I know all the specs I want with the exception of the type of rod guides I want. For an extra $100 are Titanium guides worth it? What are the advantages of titanium guides over the standard Alconite guides?
Thanks |

All I can say is if you have the money, go for it. Musky gear takes alot of abuse, if you're buyng the "rod of a lifetime", why not buy it with the best guides you can get??? |
