Don

Do you have a spacing chart to link to and save I notice the set has 8 guides For a 10 - 10'6 rod May have to add 1 - 2 to the set Wondering space of butt guide from spool face

Thanks

There is not set in stone spacing chart for the MicroWave 50 guide system.

Because of the huge number of variables (line rating, lure rating, rod length, rod power, reels, etc.) we have been working on a range to help with placement of the last 3 guides. This will get you in a good spot to then do some test casting.


From Your reel spool lip
Stripping guide: 28-32"
Transition guide: 45-48"
last running guide: 55-59"

Hope this helps!

Hello Don.

I've read the MudHole catalogue, and cannot find anything saying what the frames are made of, could you tell us what they are made of?

Tight Wraps and Bent Rods.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.
