True or False - Superline cutting guides?

[okumasheffield]

Have read/heard a lot about how superlines cutting guides but have not had any personal experience with it.

 

If it is true, are there specific guides preventing it from happening?

- SiC?

- Recoil?

- Alconite?

- Oxide?

I know 30lb Gel-spun backing can groove Recoils no problem - I can't see why fireline or PowerPro wouldn't do the same. A few years ago I re-did all the guides on my friend's G-Loomis fly rods after he came back from Florida. Apparently tarpon and jacks were the culprit.LOL

 

Never had any problems with SIC, alconites or aluminum oxide guides myself.

Good to know Recoil will get cut.

 

I am only concerned about my salmon rod since I just start running Nanofil this season and

the fresh chromes have been pulling it HARD back into the lake.

 

have not seen any damages yet but certainly concern if it will ever

 

None of my rods have Recoil on them.
