Wow. Very interesting.

The fact that it was only 10% lighter didnt really impress me , but with it being a slimmer profile means you can drop a guide size and get around 35% weight reduction is amazing.

Reducing weight of the guide translate massively to how "crisp" a rod feels.

Wonder what the price will be

Good to see more metal based guide development.
I'm worried about everyone copying AGS and we all end up with graphite guides.
