Simple questions. Answers not so easy :-
QUESTIONS :
1.) Can you give me one reason that the titanium-nickel fly rod stripper guides marketed by REC (As, "recoil" guides) and found on some high end rods don't have ceramic ring inserts ?
2.) They don't corrode in salt water. Why ?
3.) How do they compare in weight with more commonly used stripper guides....such as those from Fuji and Pac. Bay ?
4.) Some U.S. fly rod manufacturers are reluctant to use the single foot wire Ti/N guides on the tip sections. Why ?
5.) Is this fear well founded ?
