Bought three 10' Tundra rods.  All had sticking problems resolved with powder.  Each had at least one rod guide come apart with stainless steel and ceramic rings flopping on the line.  Repaired with Super Glue, but this is not a permanent solution.  Lost three Pompano rigs while casting one of the new rods before I noticed a chip in the ceramic rod guide tip.  Tried to smooth sharp edge to no avail so removed it leaving the SS guide tip in place.
