While I do not have the micro guide version, I do own one. I own the flipping stick model and have been very pleased with it. For a big rod, I think that it is very sensative.
I would not hesitate to purchase another one.

I have the Spinnerbait/Worm model. I wouldn't use it for worm fishing, but it works well for spinnerbaits and crankbaits. Not the lightest rod in the box.

If you are gonna spend in the $99 dollar range i would go with a mojo or a veritas I "had" a skeet honeycomb mg but i thought it felt very top heavy. Thats just this dude opinion.

Sorry for speaking out of line by not having one, but I think there are much better rods to be bought for what they cost. I picked up a micro the other day at Gander and 3 of the eyes were half full of epoxy. I guess they would call that a super micro. Poor craftsmanship in my opinion.

While you can find craftsmanship issues on any model rod in this price range (that's the tradeoff for having a good performing rod and a low price point), I've found the Skeet Reese rods to be one of the worst. So while I also don't own one, I agree with Bubba. If you do buy one, look them over good to make sure it is one that is built well (because there are ones out there that are). Straight guides, appropriate amounts of epoxy in the right places, nice thread wraps, etc.
