Hello .

I would like the smallest ( and sic ) MIcro guide for some of my spinning, i guess it's the MKSG#2.5 .
So who sell them ?

Unfortunately , Matagi don't have them ...

Any idea to help ?

Thank.

D.

I don't think that you can get them.
If you have any chance of getting them It would be from Billy Vivona.

I have a few that I keep to show people. But I have stayed with the Batsons in that size. I found the Fuji frames in the 2.5 size to be too soft and they tend to bend easy. I’ve heard the larger Fuji’s are not that way.
So if you are committed to using Fuji's I would stay with the larger sizes or buy the Batsons in the smaller sizes.

Personally I've stay with the Batsons in all sizes.

Didier, To my knowledge I am the only Batson dealer right now that has some of the BMKLG 2.5's in stock. Let us know if we can help.

Not to disagree with Scott but Bingham Enterprises also has the BMKLG guides in sizes 2.0 thru 5.0. You can find them on the new product section of my webssite along with pricing. These guides are in stock and ready to ship.

Thank Steve and Scott .

So MKSG are "too soft".

It is a pity that Baston does not make the micro with sic ! May be next year ?

So if i want sic ring , i have to get the Fuji KT ( T-KTSG and EKTSG ) or Fuji T-LSG and LSG in 3.5 ring , but it a way more expensive ...

Such is life !

I've got 12 or 13 of the MKSG 2.5's sitting here. I got them on a few rods that I fish, never had a problm with them bending and I do knock the guides around a bit. I have no clue how strong they are vs other brands, but I do know that since they are so small they are not easy to bend once wrapped.

Batson micros with an SiC are available but only down to size 3 and are special order (last time I checked into it which was a while ago)

Hello Alex .

Here is an interesting information! Thank .

I guess I have to ask Baston directly....

D.

The next question would have to be why the SiC requirement? Most people who have used them have been quite pleased with the various hard Aluminum Oxide rings like Fuji Alconite or Batson H ring. I know that SIC is harder, but would it make a difference on a rod using guides this small? One of my most used rods has #4 Alconites and a BMCAT tip, I have been using it with 65lb braid for over a year and the guides are still perfect.

It is indeed a legitimate question.

Sic or alconite ? Titanium frame or steel ? Fuji or an other brand ? Etc...

Difficult to be objectiv, for me .lol

Since i'm building my custom rod , I have decided to choose the best ( every time my budjet allows me )
And in my area , all the best rod have sic , so ...

Mike , you have been using it with 65lb braid, this is a thick braid . And i'm gonna use Power pro from 5lb to 10lb, which is a more "fragile " braid , and may be some Japanese braid eight strands.( very expensive ) And I would like to increase the lifespan.

D.

Then I would choose Batson micro guides with zirconium rings.

Didier,
I have followed Steve's advice VERY closely and don't think that you will be dissapointed. I have recently put in a special order for some 2mm and 2.5mm with the zirconium ring.. You will NOT be unhappy with them. I have only used 30lb power pro with these and have had no problems. I have however used 65 power pro exclusively on a pitching rod with the hard rings with NOT A SINGLE PROBLEM... is up to you wich path you choose. I will say that the zirconium sure does put a nice flair to the rod (small bling factor).

Where are you getting the Zirconium?

any of the vendors who carry Batson should be able to special order for you. I got mine from Scott at Fishsticks. I know that Karen at Bingham is a full dealer now and she should be able to take care of you as well.

Tom
