Joe Schmuckatelli Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Im looking to purchase a new rod for the upcoming season and I'm looking at a duckett micro magic 6' 9" MH being I fish from the bank the size will make it easier to fish in and around trees and what have you. I use mono a lot has anyone experienced any problems with the micro guides? Quote
Super User Tywithay Posted February 6, 2014 Super User Posted February 6, 2014 I think mono performs the best with micro guides, personally. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted February 6, 2014 Super User Posted February 6, 2014 You won't have any trouble with micro guides and mono, braid or fluoro. Quote
SenkoGuru Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I Am a pretty big fan of Duckett Rod's and love micro guides, I have had no trouble at all with any line I use. Be aware that leaders will not go through the micros so as long as you're not spooling braid and trying to use a leader it will work great. I think true micro's are much better but everyone has their own likes/dislikes. In cold weather the micros will freeze up faster, if you live in a place with freezing weather, here in La. I don't have that trouble. If you have any questions on duckett Rods I will do my best to try and help, I own many, Micro Magic and White Ice Rods but have not used the new Ghost Rods yet. Quote
Joe Schmuckatelli Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 I like the 20 year warranty that comes with it and I'm ready to upgrade to a good all around multi-purpose rod i feel the duckett rod might fit that. Im not trying to fit it technique specific so is this a good option for different applications? Quote
5fishlimit Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 You'll love it. I have that exact same rod. I've used it for so many things like topwater, flukes, and jerkbaits. Quote
SenkoGuru Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Yes, that is a very good choice for many different baits. I think you would really enjoy it. Quote
OnthePotomac Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 I am currently throwing 14lb BPS Excel mono on two BPS micro Carbonlites and it is smooth as silk. Quote
