Opinions on Silicon Carbide Ring Guides please

islandshark633 · 01-04-2006, 02:56 PM

I any one deep dropping with spectra running over silicon carbide ring guides?

Does the spectra rub a groove in the guide or does the guide fray the spectra?

Should I get a rod with rollers only?

Sound off please!!

My deep drop rods are all roller guides, but I do have a friend that has all ring guides on his two rods. I fish with him quite a bit and have not yet seen any problems with the ring guides or any fraying of the line.
