Also, have you actually seen cuts in your guides on the Eagle Claw rod? I've been using braid my Eagle Claw rod and the hardened steel inserts show no signs of wear. I think there is a general misconception regarding braid and what effects it has on guides. Most braids are actually less abusive on guides than mono, they are super slick, add a little water and friction through the guides is just about none existant.
