Anyone tried the Falcon cara w/micro guides?

Found a great deal on a weightless worm version and wonder if anyone had any experience with em'

I've never used them, but everybody likes them i've never heard anything bad about em.

I have a Falcon Cara, 7' MH. It's an older rod, so it doesn't have the micro guides. I use it for Senko's and texas rigged worms. It's a great rod. I don't think you would be disappointed.

Curious about the micro guides.  How do they keep the line from rubbing the rod?  Seems like with even a slight bend the line would come into contact with the blank.

BTW, I've never fished a rod with mico guides.  Just curious if this is an issue.

I haven't seen the layout on this specific rod, but in general when building with micro guides you need to use one or two more than usual to keep the line off the blank. Even with the extra guides you still save weight and at the tip where it's most important. casting distance and accuracy are also somewhat improved by micros by shooting the line in a straighter path (gun barrel analogy).

Man, Falcon makes some very good rods, so let 's suppose that the rod is the same Falcon Cara with micro guides , heck it 's the same good rod and that 's what it matters, micro guides, well it must have at least one more guide than the regular Cara or there would be line slap aganist the blank.

Pulled the trigger on it. I have several low riders and a bucoo so I will let you guys know how I like the micro guides.
