I'm seriously thinking of getting an Orochii XX Flatside special for jerkbaits and topwater. Does the rod come with micro guides? Does the entire line-up of Orochii XX rods come with micro guides? 

The entire xx line uses the same guides which aren't true micros. They are larger than micros.

I'm not sure what constitutes a 'true' micro guide, but the xx rods have micro guides imo. After the first two guides they get pretty dang small. Still no problems passing a braid/leader knot though. 

Thanks bigturtle and rippin-lips. My concern was how a braid/leader knot would pass through the guides.

"Micro" is used to describe guides <size 6 (6mm ID of ring not insert). A 4 or 4.5 will pass most any leader knots on a bass rig.
