I just wrapped my first micro guide rod and I am totally stoked !. I just tested it out, and my casting distance overhand was dramatically increased (25-35%) and the underhand flip was even more dramatic (40-50%). Also surprising is I could back the cast control knob off on the reel and it seemed harder to backlash. I must admit I am perplexed, I had been so sold on conventional large to small guides. 6 1/2 ft Kistler LTA blank, 4mm Fuji Micro guides on my old school pistol grip.

Thats awsome to hear, the increase is very good news for me. I'm doing my first micro wraps myself, just set them on tonight, Im gonna cast practice tomorrow before I wrap.

You know a pic is needed,  ;D 8-)

Stoked = crosseyed and headache? What size did you run to the tip with, bladeslinger? Actually, I would be interested in details of the blank and ALL guide sizes used. I've wrapped a 4 single foot just for practice kicks but, 6's are about all I dare wrap and expect to look good.

Yes... we need pics!

I used all size 4mm guides (fuji bmkog) in a conventional line (not spiral). I used a Kistler LTA Medium heavy blank (found on Ebay). The top was the only worry, it listed at 6.5mm and the largest tip top listed (4.5-6.BMCOT) Luckily it fit. Will work on pics. Those tiny feet are a little tough to wrap, I used the flexcoat guide foot adhesive to keep in place.  Static test took a while to get spacing right.
