HBXTRSG guide, whose frame is made of SS304 stainless steel, coated with a black-gray PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, which is a coating method that is carried out in a high vacuum, where a metal, such as titanium, is converted into steam and the addition of a reaction gas then creates a thin, hard and extremely strong and adhesive coating (eg TiN = titanium nitride) on the surface of the guide frame. Such a surface is very resistant to wear compared to standard processes such as electrophoretic painting (E-coat) of the guide frame.
An extra thin ceramic ring in the RS (Silicon Nitride) design is inserted into the frame of the guide, whose hardness is according to Hardness (kg/mm2) 1800-2000, which means that it is extremely hard, sufficiently resistant to impact and with excellent resistance to abrasion and high temperatures. The ceramic ring is inserted into a so-called bed (DEEP DRAWN), which protects the ceramic ring from impact. The mentioned guide is suitable for fishing with monofilament as well as braided line. Thanks to these properties, these types of guides are used for the construction of all types of rods, but especially carp rods.
