Maybe this has been discussed but after watching mr. Seth fielder flip grass I noticed that the rod he was using was a bottom contact Gen one rod.
I started looking at a lot of other videos he had and low and behold it was the same rod. He was using braid and the rod performed flawlessly. Maybe I’m too soft but I never used braid on any ags rod.
What has your experience with braid and ags guides been? How’s it performed for you

Braid and AGS

Re: Braid and AGS
I only use braid with a leader, primarily fluoro and in a few cases mono.
My two Steez SVF (EVA grips) AGS 7'6" rods have been used with braid from January 2021 until June and the AGS guides look the same as when the rod was purchased. The Steez Compile X AGS 7'6" has been using braid since June and again the AGS guides look new. The "Moving Bait Versatile" has been used with braid since September with the same results.
One of the spinning rods and the MBV is "on deck" for every fishing trip; tournament, pre-fishing or "fun" fishing at least 2-5 times per month. So, there has been regular use. I do not anticipate any issue in the future with braid and the AGS guides.

Doc

Re: Braid and AGS
Same here. I have been using my blue Steez AGS 7'9 XH for flipping and punching with 80lb braid and I have not had a problem with the guides yet.
Cheers!
