What do people think are the best (light, strong, reasonably priced) micro guides and tip tops? I'm looking at components for ML to L power rods. Weights, especially for tip tops, seem only partially available. Also, what are alternative tangle free micros the Fugi KT guides and does anyone know the weight of any of the KT guides? Does anyone have an opinion on the Nano Micro guides? I see where they have added a couple of high, match style guides to their line. Re: Which micro guides and tops to use?

Are you building a fly rod, a casting rod, a spinning rod, a trolling rod, or a specialized custom rod? Re: Which micro guides and tops to use?

Tony,
I have been using the Nano micros in the setups that are sold in the kits for over 3 years and they have performed excellent. My usage is 100% saltwater and I have no issues at all, on top of the fact that they will weigh 1/3 of a micro with a ceramic ring.

Check out the American tackle website. Open the online catalog, they have the most descriptive catalog i have ever seen. In the back is measurements and weights of all their guides. ______________________________________ Super Tight Lines......Don Re: Which micro guides and tops to use?
