Yes, use the concept setup. Fuji CYAG or American NIA for the guides between the reel and choke point and Fuji CLAG or American NIF size 6 fly guides from the choke guide to the tip. Size 6 Fuji CFAT or American NHLT tip.

Put your reel on and let the line path tell you the guide sizes to the choke point. Use a static deflection test to determine the total number of guides and their location.

Check the article in the online library. It should answer your questions on guide size and quantity.

Might be a little difference between the 842 ML and M, I usually end up with Shimano/Diawa 2000 reels. Fuji 20J, 12J, 10 or 8J, than #6 fly guides to tip as above. I'd plan for 7 guides and a tip. If you use one less you have one for repairs or the next rod. This won't be your last.

Greg,
on the new rod series we are building with this blank we are using the American Tackle Titan guides with a concept spacing. The performance is excellent and so is the response from pro-staff and customers.
