I have a MHX HIGH MOD 844 (7 foot MH FAST) CASTING Rod that I want to try this set of MICROWAVE MicroLite Micro Guides on. I guess I threw away the spacing info and have read many times that using the spacing they send with the microwave guides is different than normal micros and usually works very well. Does anyone have that spacing or know where I can find it? My least favorite part of the build is the spacing....thanks in advance. Mike

Perform a search.

Thanks Lynn ,I tried that before I posted.

Did you try mudhole, thats where i got my eye spacing charts for MHX and also on the back of the guide kits may have spacing on it also.

Guy thanks for responses. I’ve looked on mudhole and cannot seem to locate any spacing for the microwave micro lite casting guide setups. Found some for spinning but nothing for casting. Was hoping to get this done today. May have to wait till tomorrow to call mudhole or American tackle, I don’t know.. all help is appreciated and have a nice Easter..

Call American tackle and ask for Don he will help you.

Mike, you can tape the guides on your rod and try some tests casts and see how it work to get your spacing wright. Tight lines

I have found that is really is no different than any standard micro casting set up.

Measurements made from the tip of spol extended out to its furthest point, toward the tip of the rod to the primary ring of stripping guide, trabnsition guide & first running guide.
Stripping guide = 19 1/2 "
Transition guide = 30 1/2 "
running guide = 39 7/8"
this is from sheet included with microwave air system, if this does not help check out the american tackle website.

Does anyone read anymore?

Not too sure on what your point is Lynn.

Guys everything I’ve read relates to spinning rod set ups. I’m looking for casting spacing. I will just call American in the morning. Thank you

Mike, What Lynn was referring to was exactly what you said. People do
not read original posts, just give unrelated responses.

I have a store bought rod with those guides and the 1st microwave is 22" from the center of the reel seat. The next few are 33", 42" and 49 5/8".

Email coming your way Mike

Rod Building..... It's What We Do.

Don, Thanks for all the help and for sending the spacing Docs for a good starting point. Guys that responded thank you. The spacing on the Microwave Mirco Guides on a casting rod is pretty much like all other rod spacing. Don sent starting point and a good lesson on Load testing by Tom K. All very helpful. thankfull for this resource!

Thanks Robert.
