Recoils or not Recoils?
This is the question...
(From Akos' FP that I'm uploading :p )

I choosed the H&H. So let's see how long they will stay before I have to replace them with titanium sic .
So far everything else did not stay much longer than half a year if it came to the rod I mostly use on grass.
Some rings were gone after two to three month.
Never seriously tried recoils yet. But having a sound like with the sharksking line is not what I want. Not at all.

Did this happen to you? I fish in waters very dirty waters compared to trout rivers and I have never experienced such a thing. Maybe it has something to do with line cleaning.Ben_D wrote:NOT RECOILS!!
They wear out far too quickly, noise doesn't bother me but having rods re-ringed on a regular basis is quite annoying.
Will be having a rod built up soon, think I will go for either minima or Fuji Ti lined guides.
Cheers

What really annoys me is what lined guides do to a rod action. I have built a 9wt with Fuji Titanium guides and rewrapped them with H&Hs after a year or so. Even with the oversized and quite heavy snakes I had a rod that was a million times better than before. If those guides can kill the action of a 9wt, what would they do with a 6?
Even heavy snakes make a huge difference compared to lighter ones. If you want maximum performance, go with the Recoils (and clean your lines sometimes... :p ).

That noise thing is very interesting, I had to fish my Streamdance GLX for a year to hear that sound for the first time (it was on the Gacka at the ruins of the Hotel, I think I remember that better than my wedding for example... ).
I wonder where they come from. Resonance of the guides or friction?
Maybe it works like this. If yes, it may have something to do with the speed of the line moving on the guides.

Hi Akos,
Do you know the size of the Fuji guides ?
For trout rods I believe some guys use TLSG-5.5 or TLSG-6 for the whole upper section - the mass for one is ~0.12g and this is with only one wrapping less than a standard snake. Unlikely that it would decrease the natural frequency.

I've stayed so far away from the Recoils because I've read negative reports and I know that NiTi is a relative soft alloy so I doubt it has a high abrasion resistance. (I'm one of these guys who wear out them quickly, I've a funny picture somewhere)
Bye,
Torsten
