I won't ever use them again. My Shimano's never have issues, but at three times the price. Love em

What Ugly Stiks are you fishing? They are my second most dependable rods, falling only to the Calstars I wrap myself. I have had a 7' tiger lite for 3 years and beat the shit out of it. Caught yellows up to 32# paired with an Avet SX.
If you are wearing a groove into the guide, you are either using way too much drag or got a defect Imo. I haven't had problems fishing up to 15# drag with 50# braid.
