AMERICAN TACKLE American Tackle Company introduces a brand new MicroWave for conventional fishing.
American Tackle continues to
expand the MicroWave, the most
award winning rod component
in history. Its newest offering is
the 18/8 for conventional and fl y rod
applications.
There were lots of companies
using its light 10/5 casting set up for
European Pike however this stretches
the limits of the guide trans capacity so
it was decided to build a conventional
two foot stripper with a one of a kind
18mm primary ring and an 8mm
MicroWave ring. This is the perfect set
up for surf and conventional casting
rods for Pike in the northern European
Union and Muskie in the US.
The guide sets are available in both
single and double foot 8mm running
guides depending on how heavy the
application. The running guides are
very strong in either offering. The
single foot version could effectively
be used on most Euro Northern Pike
rods as they are extremely sturdy.
The same runners are used for the
30/10 saltwater spinning.
American Tackle’s testing
indicates that its line taming
system shoots line straight and
improves distance and accuracy.
Anglers will fi nd that they get
higher line speeds translating
into far less backlashes and
wind knots. This system
reduces the problems anglers
face using conventional reels.
Fly rod companies and
builders are raving about the
results of using them for fl y
strippers so much so there is
available, a smaller version for
lighter fl y rods on the drawing
board. Taming line and
shooting it straight is key
to extending casts and
reducing tangling
with fl y rods.

The main activity while fl y fi shing
is of course casting, so anything you
can do to enhance your casts making
them more accurate is an extremely
attractive option for builders. You
will see them on several high profi le
fl y rods in the very near future. It’s
clear that American Tackle Company
are excited to have a Microwave now
suitable for the fl y industry.
