MicroWave Advantages
- Increased Casting Distance. Achieved by capturing and directing energy into forward motion maintaining line speed.
- Reduction in Fatigue. Less force is required for casting using increased line speed because the blank will load and recover more naturally without inhibition from increased line vibration.
- Increased Casting Accuracy. Less force is required for casting using increased line speed because the blank will load and recover more naturally without inhibition from increased line vibration.
- Increased Lure Range of Rod. Using controlled energy, lighter & heavier lure weights can be used without rod blank materials compensating for lost efficiency.
- Wind Knot Tangling Elimination. Converts "pushing line energy" through a guide ring into "pulling line energy" preventing line from traveling beyond the larger stripper guide ring not allowing it to override the frame creating wrapping or knot formation. "And if that isn't enough we utilize our brand new Snagless running guides out to the tip". "Why use a stripping guide that's tangle free when you can use a guide that all but eliminates tangles and then employs snagless running guides for added insurance"

Files & Documents
These guides work really well. It’s helpful that all the spacing is documented and seems to work adequately for any type of Rod action. It is important to follow the guidelines for the distance from the fishing reel to the first guide and the second guide. After that, I go to the tip and follow the recommended microwave guide spacing and work my way back towards the fishing reel. The last one or two running guides I adjust the spacing for a nice transition to the first and second guide I installed first, it’s always nice to have an extra running guide if you need to add one. They are reasonably priced perform very well in both the spinning reel versions and the casting versions. I use to spend a lot of time figuring out what size of guide to use on a custom build, now I just throw these babies on and go. I will buy again. Oh ya, they cast better then all guides I have used. I build to fish, not for show, so dont look to close at the picture.
This is the first BFS rod I’ve built with the spinning guide’s giving such great performance I decided to try out the casting guides. With snow in the backyard we did a few test casts with a 1/16 oz jig head and 90 feet was no problem we’ll see what happens when the ice is off the lakes.
These eyes are awesome. Better casting distance and less backlashes on baitcasters and less line twists on spinning reels.
Cannot find the size of these guides anywhere in the description. Please include the size of these!
I put these guides on rod that was purchased of a very close to friend to a person who lost his son two years ago. I was told he uses a spin cast reel so I purchased these guides. I was running out of time and couldn’t test by casting because it had rained for three days. So I have not received the idea of how they will work but I was told that it was going on a trophy wall and never would be fished anyway. Sorry
