3 Levels of Performance
1. Standard
Ring: Aluminum Oxide
Frame: Premium SS
Layout: Cone of Flight
Rods up to 6'0": 10-8-6-6-6-6-6
Rods 6'6" to 8'0": 12-10-8-6-6-6-6-6-6
Our STANDARD guides feature traditional "cone of flight" layouts with Aluminum Oxide ceramic insert rings. Created decades ago, Aluminum Oxide is one of the very first ceramic insert materials - but don't let it's age fool you - Aluminum Oxide guides are still widely deployed on fishing rods today. Excellent performance to value ratio.
2. Performance
Ring: Titanium Oxide
Frame: Premium SS (Deep Pressed)
Layout: Concept-Style
Rods up to 6'0": 8-6-5-5-5-5-5
Rods 6'6" to 8'0": 8-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5
Rods 8'6" to 9'6": 12-10-8-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6
PERFORMANCE guides have "Concept"-style layouts for improved castability and an improved, high grade Titanium Oxide ring. Titanium Oxide allows for a slightly thinner and stronger ring when compared to the Standard guides.
3. Elite
Ring: Zirconium Oxide
Frame: Premium SS (Deep Pressed)
Layout: Concept-Style
Rods up to 6'0": 8-6-5-5-5-5-5
Rods 6'6" to 8'0": 8-6-5-5-5-5-5-5-5-5
Rods 8'6" to 9'6": 12-10-8-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6
ELITE grade guides are also offered in a "Concept-Style" layout and are constructed with diamond polish Zirconium Oxide inserts. The ELITE guides feature a thinner profile ring with an ultra-smooth bezel resulting in lighter weight, and superior performance capable of taming the most aggressive braided lines.

Files & Documents
Actually the guides are beautiful. The feet are good, but I found the need to grind a little on some.
I'm using size A thread and the guides would "squirt" out when wrapping unless I got a few wraps ahead, then packed down. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.
Great product strong and easy to use
Another build with this great set if guides. Well worth the purchase every time.
It's a good kit pleased with it.
Have built one spinning rod and one casting rod with the CRB Elite series guides. They look great and have had no issues with them. Definitely recommend them for any rod you’re building.
