I have one from mudhole that I use for micro guides here is the link. It has treated me good. I also do calculations and check the placement of the guides by taping them all first. I place my rod in rig I made string a line through to an eye on the 2x4 on the ground with wieght. That will show me the rod under load and give me the correct placement of the guides by looking at the through the guides. I made up this rig years ago. If you look on the pictures in this site you will see some made out of wood and plastic, But the one from mud hole is great.
