Un breakable line guides

[bennykenny]

Ive seen this guy around my area driving around in with this advertised on his 4wd, just had a look at the website, and thought they were pretty weird, has anyone used these? Bit of a crazy idea and i think it would sound a bit funny when you were casting, a bit like a cat bell?? what do you think?

Yes the rods are weird. The first thing I thought of would be the tips getting tangled flopping about when you cast.
I cast one a few weeks ago as they were doing the tackle shop rounds and it rattled worse then the bell we had around puss's neck.
It sounded like about 5 or 6 puss bells as a matter of fact.

Rod build quality was definitely not the best either. The binding was very how's your mum.
I also had to question the all stainless bit where the line runs. People demand more then just stainless now as a material for a guide.

Did you also notice the specifications of the rods on their website??
No line or casting weight guides. Simply a length and that's that.

I see they're also selling on ebay.

When you see one and feel one you'd have to question the price they're asking.
Definitely better rods around for the money.

Cheers then

My wind knots would quadrouple. Looks rubbish, and would most likely sound like a belly dancer.

could you imaging fishing with someone flicking plastics with one, i think i would throw it overboard in about 2 minutes, although the rods arnt really designed for it. would be funny to see though

If you ever get the 'pleasure' of talking to the lady trying to flog them off she'll tell you that they're the bees knees for casting all day.

I also reckon she'd try and sell snow to an Eskimo.
I had to walk away.

Ican see it you had them on jigging rod they might work ok but for conventional casting rod i can see a few broblems like the ring scuffing the epoxy on the wrap and scuffing the rod as well,let alone the leader knots catching on the rings.

A bit like trying to cast the dog through its own chain,I can"t see it taking off in a hurry!

Um, um, ok. Im lost for words, WTF is that shit.

[sid_fishes]

exactly that....shit
i must admit , the woman that was doing the sales pitch has never fished in her life.... the rods weighed more than a 25 yr old ugly stick with about the same action
and its a damned good thing i didnt have my hearing aids in that day, i hate noisey guides

Is that why you smiled and nodded all the time??
You couldn't hear the mumbo jumbo coming out her gob.
If you could have heard.....She was a bit pushy BUT these rods ARE the best thing since Charles Alvey's birth is what she told you Ian.

Saw them at the boat show on thurs, stainless eylets arent my
cup of tea and all the parts where the reel get attached are poor quality plastic

a bit pushy... thats an understatement
and as for being the best thing since SIR Charles..... well we know i haven,t got them in my shop[maybe in the other one]

[Stuart]

Crap and crap. Where do these people get these ideas from? O, I just has a bright idea, let make aguide from a loose peice of bent wire and call it a new invention. What are these people smocking, maybe crack?

[trueblue]

they look really dumb

I would not even pick one up to feel it

floppy guides would just piss me off at sight much less pick it up
