Sorry for the slow reply, things have been flat out.
So, the Rapala EGI rod is also using stainless steel guide frames.
They didn't think the extra cost in production, thus at the retail end, was worth it.
They are worth checking out, Okuma for the budget range or the Rapala for the higher end.

thanks for that,
they are pricey. but imo worth the cost. i would have thought if they had 2 models, they would have made the better one...........'top of the range'
the rods ive looked at with s/s guides are just so tip heavy. especially with a ultra light reel (200g-ish). just wont balance........
egi rods being such a long rod and so many guides makes it more noticeable than with a shorter spin rod.
just my opinion.
