Microwave guide rods
What brand rods have the microwave guides? My $12 Bass Pro rod, which I really like, broke. The plastic guide came out, and well, while they may replace the rod, I might as well replace with the cost of the gas $$$ it would take to drive.
I will switch around rods and use the new one for ultra light fishing and another for throwing floats.

I picked up one at Dicks Sports in Murfreesboro for $50. It is a 6'6" light. TecLite by Field & Stream. I am impressed so far, I felt like I could have thrown a kastmaster to the other side of JPP Dam last Sunday.

Talked to jaycee this morning. A microwave guide and micro guide rod are two different things. I don't know of any company that is yet to use the microwave guide. I had mine made and if I did not like it I could send it back. The company that builds them wanted to try it out on me and I did not send any money in until I am satisfied with rod....so I could not lose. But for an avid UL fisherman it is the thing. I will be getting more. For the heavier stuff I have no clue....but it seems to me same principal would apply.
Regards

Hey Alphahawk, I ordered the Micro-Wave guide set from Jann's netcraft. Should be here in a day or two.
I'd like to have a 6'6" or 7' light action rod built with the MicroWave guides. Who is a good rod builder in the area?

Well, since I have already purchased the guides, I'd like someone local to build the rod using my guides. It's too late to call Mr. Rogers now, but is he near Nashville?

He does good work and I understand he is a fan of the microwave system also.
