The one thing I learned from my 6wt thread that got moved from the GF to Gear Talk is in 2016 Winston changed the guides from "snake guides" to what they now call "shooting guides" which are more circular in design. The blurb from the company is the new guide is stronger and will provide longer casts. Sounds like the promotional BS you hear each year when Taylor Made comes out with a new version of the "R" series driver. If anyone has tested the new guides I'd like to hear your thoughts if the guides are better. The reason I ask is that the 2015 BIIIx is now about $100 cheaper on Ebay.
