Gotta love the easy ones, Cant really go wrong with black and gold, 2 hours and 10 minutes total in this build, Less drying time of course

Bill, what brand are those braced guides? I looked at one of my builds from last year and the braced guides on it are rusting 
I like the black on black there too.

SALTYDAWG,
I suspect that I am going to feel stupid when you answer this question but I have to ask it. Why do many of you rod builders there in S. Calif. use those guides. Wouldn't guides with ceramic inserts be better or even titanium guides with ceramic inserts then you could avoid the corrosion problem as well.
We used to use that type of guide here a lot of years ago before many of the guide options that we have today were available. I do not know, maybe there are still some applications here where they are still used but none that I am familiar with or am building rods for.

Believe me, I always try and talk my customers out of these guides, The main reason being there is a lot of extra work involved in grinding on them before wrapping. The braced ones are tough enough, Alot tougher than the un braced as far as the welds breaking, But both come from the factory pretty crude and need a lot of detail work before they're usable
