I'm gettng ready to build this rod, and would apprieciate anyone's guide placement measurements to use as a starting point for static placment testing. From what I've read about this rod, I'm dubious as to my ability to get the guide placments right.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Andrew Toynbee Re: Guide placement for DanCraft 8'6" FT 3 wt

dan craft offers a chart with guide spacing measurements for various sizes and models of blanks he offers. i think it's in the catalog.

Nothing in catalog, and although I have Dan's printout on suggested guide placements, I can't figure out which one is for the FT.
I am also interested in what guide spacings the folks who have built this rod have come up with. Andrew Re: Guide placement for DanCraft 8'6" FT 3 wt

Andrew,
See the email I sent you. As expected with a blank that is this fast, the guides are pushed out toward the tip somewhat. I adjusted the placement that Dan provided to deal with the guides near the ferrules. Jeff Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
