Wt roller guides

Boonebird · 03-20-2008, 06:33 AM

I was woundering if anyone has used any winthrop tool roller guides? If so what they thought of them?

I've used them. They're vastly superior to any other roller guide, along with being vastly more expensive.

If you don't mind the price, they can't be beat. Knot clearance is amazing.

Oh, and one other thing: They look REALLY COOL

Best on the market. Machined, not stamped. If you want the best, go Winthrop. I will put them on all custom HD rods from now till my death. Check out rod below. I almost busted it on a nice marlin last summer.

Hey Boonebird, welcome to 360Tuna!

After I called and spoke to the Winthrop owner and explained what we wanted to do with his products, he understood w/o me having to really hard sell him that we'd use his products and add to his brand image, not deduct.

OTI hopes to do a lot of business with Winthrop!
