Since moving to NH I have used my flipping stick for carolina rigging. The rod is a BPS at least 10 years old. This year I'm going to use braid for c-rigs and a mono or fluoroleader. Should I be conerned with guide wear on a rod this old?

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it, its not like your fishing for a drag burning yellowfin tuna.

I was thinking more about the casts and retreives than catching fish.

what kind of guides are on it?what model is it?

10 year old rod brings it to what, a 2000 or 2001 model? In the mid-90's I wrecked the guided on a Quantum Tour Edition rod in an afternoon using the old TUF line.
