Anyone have them, or know where I can find them?
Thanks Re: Guide Spacing Chart - 11 guides for a 9' 4 piece

There are some out here, but you'll get the best performance from doing a static distribution test. Easy to do, and it's explained very well in an article in the library link above. The St Croix site has a section with spacing charts if you still want to go that way.
Good luck with the project. Re: Guide Spacing Chart - 11 guides for a 9' 4 piece

Tim,
I have such a spacing I use on my FT blanks! Dan Re: Guide Spacing Chart - 11 guides for a 9' 4 piece

Dan,
Are you able to supply me with the spacings? Thanks, Tim Re: Guide Spacing Chart - 11 guides for a 9' 4 piece

Hi Tim! Just got back in from the weekend and saw your request--the 11th guide was supplied as a taming guide, to be placed 4" to 4-1/2" ahead (toward the tip) of the stripping guide AFTER the static distribution test is done (see the article in the "Library" here). I think you'll find a dramatic improvement in casting, especially shooting, using this set up. Do a search under "taming guide" here or see Tom K.'s book for more compelling argument on their use. At G&L, we tested every model we build with and without a taming guide and realized an increase in shooting distance 100%(!) of the time.
I could not more strongly recommend you take the few minutes it takes to do a static deflection/stress distribution test to determine the guide spacing, especially with such high-performance blanks. Feel free to email or call me if you have any questions! Warmly, Re: Guide Spacing Chart - 11 guides for a 9' 4 piece
