Why do manufacturers continue to use outdated snake and single leg wire guides on top range rods, when it is the popular belief that ceramic lined guides(ie. Fuji Sic) are better for shooting line?
Snake guides seem even more outdated now that we are, mainly, using weight forward and shooting head tapers. Personally, I think it is a cost cutting excercise; ceramic lined guides are far more expensive. I would however think that a rod of over 500 UK pounds should be fitted with top end components to justify the price tag.
Anybody have a view on this?
