Best set of roller guides for the money? Looking at making another 60-130 stubby for my Avet 30W and dont know if I want to go back to Aftco Heavy Duty or maybe Try the All American rollers. Stuarts seem to be the cheapest set and I have one rod with them but they are super clunky looking to me.

Thoughts, opinions, venting welcomed as well if it helps....

Winthrop are the best there are (IMO) - but pretty pricey. All American rollers are probably the best dollar - to quality out there

I just did a rod with Aftco HD roller guides. Thought they were ok but am not overly excited about the quality. I agree Winthrop would be the way to go if you have the money.
