When production rods are not enough, it's time to go custom. Come share your experiences building and/or ordering a custom rod and tell us if you'll ever go back to off the shelf.

In what category/ies do SIC guides outperform Torzites?
To be honest, I don't recall. That was about 10 years ago when they were released. I think I recall ceramic hardness and ceramic weight, by volume. Much like the Gold Cermets of old, I didn't find them to be a outright better choice, and they were significantly more expensive.

Just to be clear, I think the Torzites are an outstanding guide and we're really splitting hairs here, other than price. Also with the Gold Cermets. You aren't going to go wrong with Torzites and I've put many sets of them on rods without any issues or complaints.
