Here at Snake Brand one of the most important things we do is to listen to the input of our customers.
We were encouraged by some of our customers who build significant quantities of two-handed rods to look at the possibility of increasing the wire diameter of our three largest guides. We made countless calls and solicited input from our customers, the consensus was that all encouraged us to increase the wire diameter from .032 to .038. The increase in wire diameter would not affect performance in any way and would allow shooting heads to travel through the guides at a faster line speed which allows for more distance due to the guide design.
We are pleased to announce that the first run of guides are being plated in Black Nickel and will be available after Christmas. Our second run of Spey Guides will be coated in our Proprietary Ecoating as it is the fastest guide to be introduced to the market.
Note: Black Nickel finish is not recommended for saltwater use.

"I have chosen Mike's Snake Brand guides for my premier rods. Aesthetically they look wonderful with full radius contours. The feet are flat and burr-free... just tape the guide on and wrap, so it saves time. The wire has a significantly smaller OD., saving on weight, has less drag on the fly line, and gives a slender, elegant appearance, yet the guide is as strong or stronger than the old chrome stainless... Plain and simple, Snake Brand guides are superior products and should seriously be considered an integral part of any high-quality rod."
