Looking to either getting the 7'2" MH or the 7' M.

Baitcast reel(s) I will use will either have 30-40 lb braided line. 

Does Micro guide b/c rods work w/ braided line or better w/ mono/co poly/fluoro line?

How do you like this rod and if you own either I listed, is it more for one type of technique or do you use it as a all type technique rod?

I'd say braid because its so thin, but I wouldn't use a leader because i'd think the knot would get hella caught in the guides.

id still use a leader. the albright/alberto is very compact. smooth casting also helps.

Thats the knot I use, but its more of a mental thing for me.
