Hi,
I am preparing to build a 7ft casting rod for fresh water bass and need some help with Fuji Concept guide spacing. I have been searching for a site, but the only Fuji site I can find are the Fuji Australia and Fuji Japan sites. Nothing on the Japan site unless it is Japanese and the Australian site shows spacing for 8 guides and a tip but the Fuji carded guide kit recommended for my 7 foot rod has 9 guides not including the tip. Can someone please send me a link or direct me to a site that provides correct spacing for Fuji concept guides (9) for a 7ft casting rod. Or if I am completely screwed up on this, please steer me in the right direction, this is my first bass rod.

Thanks in advance.

Back issue of RodMaker shows how to set this up. There is no site that has the "correct" spacing for your rod - this has to be done by static means. No chart or site can guess at your blank's exact action or handle configuration. Such charts or placement recommendations are only starting points at best. The key to the concept system for casting rods is to get down to your smallest sized guide quickly, using low frame lightweight guides (you do not have to use Fuji Concept Guides to employ the New Guide Concept System).

Details for spinning rod Concept System are on the online library page here.
