Help with a micro guide project
Permalink  

Hello all, newbie with first time post. I am starting a rod project with a Rainshadow RX7 7' blank, Fuji seat, custom made cork split grip and Fuji micro guides. Can anyone suggest a good guide spacing as I currently do not have a guide spacing chart confuse. I am running 9 guides, this includes 1 stripper. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi John! Glad to see you made it here!

There is a post right underneath this one that has my guide spacing chart in it..

You can also come by the shop after you get it taped up and we can go  over it then!

Hi Terry, thanks for the info. I thought the guide you posted was for the spiral configuration. I am doing the standard, on the top configuration.

Hi John & Welcome to the Forum!

You didn't say casting or spinning which would make quite a difference.

While I beleive you should learn what "static guide spacing" is all about, there are a couple guide spacing calculator utilities on my website that should help with getting a good start.
