Rocco 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 There is a Youtube video exactly showing the line slap reduction in these type guides. Very convincing. Sorry do not remember the link The only problem I see with them is that if you are using short heavy skagit heads the smaller diameter guides barely feed the chunky lines through them. That is in a 'niche' category, however, that would not bother most. Rocco Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 Is there a difference between the line slapping the rod or slapping the other side of the eye? Friction wise or noise. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steeldrifter 0 Report post Posted October 25, 2017 When the line hits the ring in the guide it is less friction than when it hits the blank due to surface/contact area. Noise is no issue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
