Just a random question l've just been looking at the tackle box website and looked at the Free spirit Hi-S black edition TB special and its say it's fitted with the lighter weight American tackle vortex air guides to improve tip recovery and think this makes them about £40 more a rod, sounds convincing but to be honest l haven't got a clue about these things and always thought they would be fitted with decent guides anyway at the price of free spirit rods which l not knocking as l've had a few and really like them, so can anyone educated me on these.
Many thanks
