the recoil stripper guide & tip may cause knot problems when casting - solved by using SIC stripper/tip like the some of the t-curve flight models
custom rods are sometimes built with SIC stripper or K guide for this reason. REC guides meant to be lighter and hard to destroy. makes awesome noise when casting braid and whilst fighting fish

You get a bit of line wrap over your guides if you have the stripper as a recoil. Most people get them made with a standard guide as the first guide so this doesnt happen as much. The line can also try to work its way through the coil in the guide (because they are similar to a spring)
Most complaints about the guides are from people that have never had them and just say it to look like they know stuff about rods. Half of it is bunkem, there is some truth to it but they are good guides, I wouldnt have bought 6 set up with recoils and k guides if I didnt think they where good. Cheers Chris

I bought a T-curve flight with recoil guides when they were going cheap and didn't like them at first but have had no problems with them while fishing. I think it's more of a cosmetic thing they look a bit strange if you haven't had a rod with then before but they seem to do the job?

All my GLX rods have recoils and I have no issues with them.
I think some guys get guide wraps which is what people mostly complain about. But as far as I know it comes down to casting technique. I guess some people often palm them off as "omg crappy guides are crap" after a guide wrap and aren't willing to adjust. Makes sense to have an alternative stripper and tip though. I'd say more importantly the tip.

In the big scheme of things I am very inexperienced but the only issue I have had with my recoils has been my poor casting from time to time. As has been quoted before - 'It tends to be a poor workman that blames his tools.' Regards. HBt.

I have 2 T-Curve Flights with them, and love them!
Admittedly l have the ones with SiC stripper and tip guides. I understand they use SiC tips to stop the squealing that is apparent with recoils. Having flicked around mine compared to a full Sic guided rod, you can definitely tell the difference in weight and action..... I recommend them!
