1099gl Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I have heard good things about both of these rods but is the micro magic really worth the extra $50? Quote
Bassin Bob Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I like to use braided line with a fluorocarbon leader. The micro guides won't allow this setup as they are too small to allow the joining knot to flow thru freely. Therefore I prefer the ghost. But if you use straight braid or mono, the micros are great!

Super User jbsoonerfan Posted May 6, 2014 Super User Posted May 6, 2014 I prefer foam over cork, so I went with the Ghost. You may prefer cork though. Quote
SwampLife Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I looked into this recently and here is the biggest thing between the two.. The micro magic has a 20 year break it and replace it warranty.. The ghost has a 1 year... As for as bob said about the eyes I was almost positive they where the same size except the ghost has stainless steel eyes with no insert.. IMHO I would go with micro magic because of the warranty.. A extra 50 to 60 bucks for a extra 19 years of break it and replace it warranty is well worth it.. Some one correct me if I'm wrong because I want one of the two soon 1 Quote
Creekcrappie Posted May 6, 2014 Posted May 6, 2014 I was wondering the same thing. I know a guy that swears by the ghosts, but if you break it you don't get the 20 year warranty. Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted May 6, 2014 Super User Posted May 6, 2014 I would rather save the $50 on my initial purchase as opposed to getting a better warranty. If you break a Ghost after a year, just go buy another one. If you break a micro magic you have to either take it back or ship it back which would take time. You are essentially paying $50 for a warranty. I don't feel like a $100 item is worth spending $50 on a warranty. If I buy a $1,500 TV, then I may pay a little extra for a warranty, but not for a $100 rod that if it were to break would more than likely be user error anyway. Quote

Why not a macro magic instead then? Quote
