derekxec Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 how long ago was the last time you used it? most modern reels and guides are great for braid Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 4, 2013 Super User Posted May 4, 2013 You should be fine as long as your rods/reels are newer as well. Jeff Quote
Super User dodgeguy Posted May 5, 2013 Super User Posted May 5, 2013 rods of 10 years ago were fine for braid. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted May 5, 2013 Super User Posted May 5, 2013 It was the old braided line that was the problem, not the rods. Newer braids are much smoother and won't damage even old rods. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 5, 2013 Super User Posted May 5, 2013 I never had a rod or reel problem form using braid and I've used it almost exclusively for may years. Quote

Short answer is no. Ive never had any issues with it. Just watch for wear marks on the guides after hard use. 1 Quote
