What is a good method for determining fly rod guide sizes ? I know that certain blank manufactures post their guide sizing along with their guide spacing charts on the web, but I am more intrested in how this is determined. Thanks. Re: Fly Rod Guide Size Selection

I've wondered the same myself. On the first rod I ever built, back in '84, it was suggested to me to "oversize" the guides for the intended use in a float tube. That rod still casts a line one heck of a long way, and I've always attributed it to the oversize guides. But the question still remains: "If I oversized, how did someone determine 'right-sized'?" Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
