The MicroWave casting guides are a perfect hybrid between a traditional guide train and a micro guide train. This gives us the best of both worlds. A micro or a traditional casting guide train can restrict distance by creating drastic angles from the spool to the first running guide..... Let me explain that further. When the line leaves the spool the line creates a sharp downward trajectory

The casting weights listed are true to the blank…4 sure! On the BP86400, the max lure weight is 400g (14oz) so if you intend to cast that large of lures, I would suggest the 600 model.

I personally have built around 50 casting rods using the MIcroWaves in a spiral wrap.... they work great. I feel with the stripper guide ring location being a little higher off the blank it helps to get the line going around blank a little better.

Good morning, I will attempt to answer several points brought up.... *Nanolite is a harder ceramic than Duralite and is made to handle the abuse of today's super braids.
