Lews TP1 black Speed Stick users ?

[Bird]

Getting ready to order Lews mach crush paired with the speed stick. 

 

Was wondering if anyone has experienced any issues with the microwave guides and leader knots ?.....those guides look rather small in comparison to other sticks in my stable. 

 

Any other critiques regarding rod and reel are welcome, thanks.

I have that rod but I can’t help you as I don’t use leaders. The rod is fantastic, easily my favorite stick ATM. 
 

Why the Mach Crush? I have one and I can say if unless you are getting a deal where it is under $100, even under $80 there are better options out there.

 

My recommendation is the Lew’s Custom Black for $113 on EBay MSRP is $180 it’s a Mach Crush in Black aluminum and smaller Winn grips. If you want the oversized ones you can order them on Tackle Warehouse.
