Hello . Thank you to you tenfold. Thus,i understand that it is possible. It suffices to know the limits. ->Beeing careful with storage. -> When putting the lure on the hook keeper , too. -> Choosing guide not to vertical , to avoid line rubbing . -> Prefering a Titanium frame .

Hello . I know some have tried it . I have Fuji micro in size 3 , and i would like to give a try with this option . It's for a spinning blank , MHX CB845 with top size 5" .

Hello . I have the PMCST (Silicon Carbide Micro Tops) ring size 4,5 . (With a tube 5/64 , on weight 0.2g) With the T-KTSG size 4 and 3,5 , i think it match . So i will try to split one , to fit it to a 7.5'' top. But with the T-KTSG size 3 , perhaps a single guide might be acceptable? Thanks . D.

Hello . Thank Bill for your help . Last summer , I choosed the LDBSG #4, instead the T-KTSG#4 because at that time , I was not very convinced of their strength or their effectiveness against the wind knot. Now I think the T-KTSG # 4 would do the job . And they are lighter .T-KTSG#4 = 0.05g / LDBSG #4=0.093g Well , i've several order to make , and i will have all those guide in my hand

Thank you . Roger , yes the third option exists indeed .I know that some are doing it very well. I think it would be sad to use such a big and heavy top with such micro rings ( #3 and #3,5) I think it is worthwhile to seek a better solution yet. But a solution that is up to the task . Mike. Yes, That's what I think . And it would be hefty . But heavier ? John , the option 2 , this w

Hello . I've got 2 MHX that need Micro Top, but with tube 6,5" and 7,5" .

Hello . Thank you Roger . I believe the k serie guide would be helpfull for me , as i am building light spinning rod , and will use very ligth braid ( very limp and expensive too , as the japanese 8 strand braid / ) I have the LBD Fuji #5 , and they work very well (The shape is effective and nice )!

Hello . I read a few month ago something about the Fuji K serie , those K would be heavier than the "classic " Fuji .... Well, I guess it has to do with the frame... So what about the smaller T-KTSG #4 versus T-LSG #4 ? ......................( T-LSG #4 weight 0.0518 gramm = 0.001827 OZ =0.799 grain) By the way are the T-KTSG #3.5 only available in Japan ? ......

Hello . Well , I have indeed contacted dealers, one month ago..

Hello . I have not yet succeeded in finding these rings , Batson micro guides with zirconium rings or SIC ring , size 3 (and 2.5) . Only see the size 4 with gold zirconium ... I want to find even smaller than 4. I have not had a positive response? But are they still available? If not , then i would take the "classic ring material " . Thank for your help . D.

Hello . With Micro guide , I was thinking that the smallest would be the best ! And then ,I also read some news, which allows me to understand that too small, will reduce the casting distance . ...

Thank Steve and Scott . So MKSG are "too soft". It is a pity that Baston does not make the micro with sic ! May be next year ? So if i want sic ring , i have to get the Fuji KT ( T-KTSG and EKTSG ) or Fuji T-LSG and LSG in 3.5 ring , but it a way more expensive ... Such is life ! D.
