REC
introduces a revolutionary new material for rod guides. RECOIL
guides are made from a special nickel titanium alloy with unique
physical properties which provide exciting new possibilities for
rod designers worldwide. Until now, rod guides have been plated
or have used ceramic inserts to provide wear resistance. RECOIL
guides are made from an extremely
hard
but flexible "Shape Memory" alloy, which does not
require plating, cannot corrode in any environment, and returns
to its original shape after repeated deformations.
