The American Tackle Original MicroWave Spinning Guide Set is the only award-winning guide system on the planetearning multiple ICAST Best of Category honors and international awards. Invented by legendary angler Doug Hannon, the “Bass Professor,” the MicroWave system revolutionizes line control and casting performance for spinning rods.
Whether building a new custom rod or upgrading an existing setup, the MicroWave Spinning Guide Set delivers industry-leading performance trusted by rod builders and anglers worldwide.
Sets includes 1 stripper guide, 1 transition guide & 7 running guides (9 total based on a 7′ spinning rod, additional running guide available for longer rods). Also includes suggested layout measurements.
