I building two spinning surf rods using a AllStar BGSW 1418 blank and I'm looking for a reference to start from for guide size. I've done a search and found a lot of information and read and re-read the article in Volume 7, Issue 1, but it just confussed me more than I already was. I've seen post concerning the 'new' fuji concept but think I'll stick with SVLG's or the HVSG's (high surf guides) or a combo of the two. I can afford to buy the entire range of each to set up the rod, so I'm looking for input from guys that have built on this blank before as a spinning surf rod.
Thanks in advance.
