Fuji SIC guides are the best, no doubt about it. Daiwa has designed Seaguide TDG guides fitted to the Daiwa Tournament SLR rod that retails at around £500. An absolutely insane price for a rod with stainless steel guides that could melt your line if you hooked a half decent sized fish.

Fugi make the best guides in my opinion and their Sic guides are their best but this demonstration is designed to mislead. The competitors guides in this test are designed to have the line running through them and not at 90deg, by pulling the line at that angle it allows the line to pass over the sharp edge which is not a problem when used as intended. The sic guide is round on the edges, the competitors guide is not, in normal use this is not an issue. I have been fishing for close to 60 years and have dozens of rods, most have Fuji guides but a few have cheaper guides, I have never had a line break due to the guide.

Yes, they're cheating when they don't have to! We all know SIC and Torzite are the best, so why cheapen your brand by doing this suspect 'test'.

I agree with you. But most promotional video use extreme scenarios to amplified are advantages against others. I kind of tend to accept the result then. They should explain this misleading or extreme example at the end or beginning then we will be happy.

@@zhouyu9971 Yes, or maybe design a test that is fair. I presently own over 50 rods and have owned many more, about half of which I have built myself. I love using the best guides but realistically there are plenty of scenarios where a much cheaper guide will achieve the same results for the majority of people. You get what you pay for but you don't always need that extra performance, top spec Fuji guides can be 30 times the price of a cheap competitor.

@@geoffdrew5207 the prices are crazy these days. I could get a rod for the price of a set of guides today

Está haciendo trampa. Cuando levanta el peso, gira el brazo hacia el lado derecho para que el peso recaiga sobre la anilla que no es SIC.
