Here is a good article. My first use of micro guides were using an ESP Power Lite 7 foot rod a number of years back. The rod....for the price.....had good sensitivity. Those micro guides were a big part of that. Of course they were nowhere near as small as the guides on the rods I’m using now. In the past 6 years...now going on 7 years I guess....of buying JDM rods I’ve seen the micro guides go from 3.5mm....3m.....2.5mm and now 2mm. They are certainly not for every fishing application. But all I do is cast micro plastics using 2-3 pound test line....no slip floats so no bobber stops. It’s funny since I started using rods with the 2mm micros when I fish a rod with 3.5mm micros I think “man those guides are big”....LOL. Which of course they are not. It seems though the 2018 and later UL rods are going to 2mm guides. I don’t know how much smaller they can get but I guess they could.
