This is a simple question and i hope to get some quick answers... I am building a swimbait rod with micros and have never done it before.
I will be using the MHX 8' blank. My question is what guide sizes to use and how many. I thought I would use a 6 or 8 for the first guide then eight or nine number 4s before my tip top. If you could convince me to use a spiral wrap, I would, but my same question would apply, as well as how to. Rod building is new to me and I did a search but not many answers came up. So, some quick help here would be great because I'd like to make an order tonight. Thanks! Re: First Build With Micros. Please Help! Simple Question...

What size/type of line are you using?
What blank? Size of lure? Casting or spinning? Need a little more info to get you going. In mean time, you may also want to consider searching for "micro maniac" - those posts have a wealth of information. ----------------- AD Edited 1 time(s).

It will help if you know what style of reel you are using.
Old style round body like Ambassadeur 5000 will need a larger guide spaced farther away, a low profile like Revo can use smaller and closer. We usually end with 21-24" from the front of the reel when mounted.

It will be a casting rod.
I plan on using the new Abu Garcia Kalex souped up. Its an Ambassadeur. The blank is Mudhole's new line; a SWB967-Blend. I plan on throwing an average of 4 oz baits with about 50 pound braid. Hope this helps guys. Thanks a ton! Re: First Build With Micros. Please Help! Simple Question...

(also realized the micro search I did was that of only the last 30 days... that's why I wasn't finding much. But, I'm still hoping for the help here) Re: First Build With Micros. Please Help! Simple Question...
