I'm wondering if anyone uses a spinning reel with micro guides and if it's a better set up than standard guides. I can only spend $100.00 on a pole and my reel of choice is going to be plueger 6930. Rod choices narrowed down to Abu Garcia vendetta, veritas, Falcon BuCoo, or Skeet Reese rod. I was blessed with twins but the wife shafted me on a high end rod.

I fish mostly senko's if that helps. I need the best rod for bottom contact.

Any finesse rod including spinning setups will benefit from properly applied lightweight guides. If icing and  filimnetous algae are not big concerns I put micros on nearly every bass rod I build for myself and more often than not for customers.
