£££ fuji guides £££ ???????

[craigmlormor]

broke 2 of the guides on my sonik rod (sk3) was wondering how much it would cost to replace them all with fuji ones and whether it would actually be worth it. where would the best place to get this done and are the alconite better than the luminous guides. i think thats all. lol.

 

[craigmlormor]

Ah maybe thats not all, Im in wallsend by the way, just as a geography point of view. no point recommending somewhere in whitby. cheers

depends how u got it broke mate...and if its under warranty....it all depends...most tackle shops will do the repairs for u .. ur in wallsend ...not exactly the sticks mate...hope u get it sorted bud...

 

[craigmlormor]

it blew over in wind , i rang sonik they said it would not be covered. just wondering about cost before i put something cheaper back on.

stick with the alconites they are top quality guides, iv never broke a 1 yet not sure how they would cope on the rough stuff but sure theyd be fine. the new fuji bnhgs are rubbish in my opinion iv broke 2 of them while casting, wont be using them again unless they get made like the old 1s were. the fuji bnogs are ok rings and so are zircons but for me alconites all the way lighter the better will be giving the minima 4 rings a shot this winter see how they do.

like gary says they are not as good as the old 1,s but the alconites are expensive £40 for a full set the bhngs are half that depends on your budget plus with rods getting slimmer the alconites look better on the rod not as bulky

get a set of Pac Bay Minima 4s, ive put them on a few rods now and not one singke problem with them and very lightweight. no inserts to pop on them and cheap enough

PacBay MiNiMA 4 - 3 Leg Model T Frame - PacBay - Rod Guides

stick £50ish on for a shop/person to put them on too.

pis added of guides on a Zziplex SST

 

[wheres the fish?]

The ones with rubber seals are strong, probably not the best but they are on my century G1 and they have stood up to years of abuse

 

[craigmlormor]

Great advice lads cheers.
