Like a funnel, the MicroWave "stripper" guide takes the gyrating line and straightens it before entering the second guide (transition guide), The MicroWave guide does in one guide what it takes the NGC four or more guides to do.

Lynn, I recommend using the provided spacing chart then adjust accordingly using static placement. I think you will find that minimum movement will be necessary.

That is a great review. I have put them on well over 100 rods and get the same kind of feedback from every single person. As I have always said...try them for yourself, you will not be disappointed. Thanks for the review Mr. Hart!

If the reel is properly aligned with the fist guide, I don't see any issues. I am not a surf rod guy but it makes sense.

I just put Microwaves on a fly rod blank......of course it is now a spinning rod. The microwave guides will be no help on a fly rod. They are used to control the line when casting and on a fly rod you are not really casting the line.

I tape them down with a thin piece of tape by the leg then tape a half of a popsicle stick behind the guide so it doesn't walk. I have zero issues with this method.
