My stripper guide is usually at about 30" on my fly rods so I do have the stripper on the butt section of a 3pc. In fact, on a 9' 5wt I recently build, both my stripper and tamer guides are on the butt section. Re: help with a 3 piece loomis

I would also try to situate the stripping guide about 30 inches from the rod butt. This is assuming a normal arrangement of a 5 inch reel seat and 7 inch grip, or thereabouts.
If it falls within an inch of the ferrule, I'd move it up onto the ferrule and integrate it with your ferrule reinforcement wrap. ............ Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
