    mirco guides

    What's the best micro guide on the market for the money. I bought some from ALX a few years back but I don't remember what the were. Looking for size 3 or 4

    ALX has kigan guides now - doubt that is what you had got from him before. I got some zirconia's from him and so far am impressed. The specs are great and they have an alconite version that is on par with fuji alocnites pricewise - which have always been my goto-s for price vs. quality.

    I've been very unhappy with the batson micros. I've replaced about 1/3 of every one i ever put on a rod because the frames are weak and inserts fall out like crazy. AmTak titaniums are pretty good, i've only used a handful.

    for tip tops - the kigans are hands down the best i've used.

    You ordered the following:
    BMKLG04 (Batson) 4s
    BMKLG03 (Batson) 3s
    ALPS XBLXNLG size 6

    I've completely abandoned the Batsons to use exclusively Kigans. I've been very impressed with the performance - excellent durablility (toughness, no rings falling out, no pull outs, etc) as well.
