If anyone knows of a source to buy these please post

I thought they have always been called super stickers? Great reel seats, Loomis used to build his factory rods in them

I second the tip wrap issue. Otherwise they are a nice guide to fish in my opinion.

Or an old fashioned crappie rod..

Considering I use 4-8lb rated blanks for 15 pound steelhead those choices sound like meat sticks for perch. I'd be trying something in the 2-6 range 1-4 if possible.

The company truly understands grip pressure, fit and performance. I liked the idea of their wraps

In golf Winn could easily win the comfort vote. I liked the idea of these for fishing

Bling would be an understatement if guides are the most expensive component of your rod

Wow!

Just as I was hearing of good things on torzite. Any updates on this topic?

Fly rod blanks really gives you more options. Good call on that mention

Would be interested in perspectives from an American blank builder like Gary Loomis NFC and stuff designed in Japan. Are there real differences? Or has rod technology really conformed and found commonality on an international scale?

Very interesting breakdown on the weight differences. Thanks for taking the time to write it up

Still a good setup. But the guys saying old stuff is better just don't give new models a chance. Technology always advances.
