What is the difference between micro and regular guides ? I'm thinking of buying a micro rod are they worth buying or stick with a regular guide casring rod ?

The micro guides are supposed to make the rod lighter, and to distribute the rod's load more efficiently.
I have several rods with micro guides.
I find they make very little difference to me in either casting or feel/sensitivity, and they don't make the rods feel any lighter. But they make using a leader with braid a nightmare. The knot, no matter how small (even the improved Alberto), sticks in the micro guides and messes up my casts.

Thank you for your answer now I know which rod to get not that micro rod.

Mark is correct on using leaders, knots hang up constantly.
One advantage to micro guides, if you step on your rods you are less likely to break off a micro guide than a normal guide.
