The American Tackle Original MicroWave Casting Guide Set is the world’s first and only guide system to win multiple ICAST category awards. Developed by the legendary "bass professor" Doug Hannon, these sets feature the patented MicroWave Line Control Technology, this revolutionary design delivers unmatched casting distance, improved accuracy, and superior line management. From reducing tangles to increasing sensitivity, MicroWave guides set the standard for rod-building innovation. Award-Winning Design – The only guide system to win multiple ICAST awards for innovation and performance. Patented Line Control – Instantly captures and controls line coils for longer, more accurate casts. Durable Construction – Built with 316 stainless steel or lightweight TiON titanium frames for strength in any environment. Versatile Options – Available with Duralite or Nanolite ceramic rings to match your build and fishing style. Snagless High-Frame Design – Prevents line tangles and easily passes leader knots for smooth performance. Whether you’re a custom rod builder or upgrading your favorite setup, the Original MicroWave Casting Guide Set delivers professional-grade performance trusted by anglers worldwide. Set includes 1 stripper guide & 8 running guides (9 total based on a 7' casting rod, additional running guide available for longer rods). Also includes suggested layout measurements. MicroWave Advantages Increased Casting Distance. Achieved by capturing and directing energy into forward motion maintaining line speed. Reduction in Fatigue. Less force is required for casting using increased line speed because the blank will load and recover more naturally without inhibition from increased line vibration. Increased Casting Accuracy. Less force is required for casting using increased line speed because the blank will load and recover more naturally without inhibition from increased line vibration. Increased Lure Range of Rod. Using controlled energy, lighter & heavier lure weights can be used without rod blank materials compensating for lost efficiency. Wind Knot Tangling Elimination. Converts "pushing line energy" through a guide ring into "pulling line energy" preventing line from traveling beyond the larger stripper guide ring not allowing it to override the frame creating wrapping or knot formation. "And if that isn't enough we utilize our brand new Snagless running guides out to the tip". "Why use a stripping guide that's tangle free when you can use a guide that all but eliminates tangles and then employs snagless running guides for added insurance"
