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 Edited 1 time(s).

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. Re: MicroLite Micro Guide placement casting rod

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..

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 Re: MicroLite Micro Guide placement casting rod

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. Re: MicroLite Micro Guide placement casting rod

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 Re: MicroLite Micro Guide placement casting rod

Mike, What Lynn was referring to was exactly what you said. People do
not read original posts, just give unrelated responses. Re: MicroLite Micro Guide placement casting rod

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! Re: MicroLite Micro Guide placement casting rod
