Inventor Doug Hannon also known as "The Bass Professor" partnered with American Tackle to conceive, design and manufacture the perfect "line control" system for spinning rods. The system addresses coiling-memory issues with monofilament but it's ideal for braided lines and really something that has to be felt and seen to be believed. It provides noticeable advantages that standard guide trains cannot by combining science, practical application and custom rod building principles. Many long hours of theory, design & physical testing has resulted in possibly the most dynamic guide train developments to date.

Sets includes 1 stripper guide, 1 transition guide & 7 running guides (9 total based on a 7' spinning rod, additional running guide available for longer rods).

Suggested MicroWave Guide Spacing

In order to ensure optimum performance using the MicroWave Line Control System, American Tackle has developed these guide spacing suggestions. While not required or absolute, these layouts have been tested to provide the advertised benefits.
