I would like to begin building the Forecast 662-4 I just received. I'll use single foot snakes and would like to place guides on the female ferrules if possible, at least the two sections from the tip.
If someone who has build this blank could give me the guide sizes and spacing it would be greatly appreciated. maybe I don't need to place guides on the ferrules??? Thank you for your help. Gary Re: guide spacing forecast 662-4

I suggest placing the stripper guide on first then putting guides on the ferrules next space the rest evenly. Static test and test cast like a mad man! I have found with the 6'6" forecast in the differing piece combinations 2 or 4 that guide spacing is not going to be the same for each rod- so I hesitate to give you the spacing I used for any of the rods since they all came out a little different.
