Getting to ready to rebuild and new build some rods.
MY ????? after looking at several web sights and down loading several charts there is no standard settings so you start with one chart and then move the guides around until you get what is even and good looking to the eye and check the static of the rod? OR WHAT?? IS THERE A FORMULA? Sometimes be an enginer causes problems before they start Catch a big one. Re: Guide spacing

Tim; Go to the library on this site and read the articles on guide placement. I think they will answer most if not all of your questions. Re: Guide spacing

Tim check out the "Static Guide Placement" in the Libraray above. It should answer all your questions and give you the optimal setup.
If you are building spinning rods then check out "The New Guide Concept Primer" Regards......Doug@ TCRds Re: Guide spacing

Pay most attention to the butt guide when you start and adjust later on. All the other guides just seem to 'fall in place' if you follow good static distribution practices. No charts needed.

Tim,
You must not have gone to engineering grad school. They teach you how to spell engineer in grad school. There is no formula because all blanks are a little different. Static deflection, described in the LIBRARY above, is a good place to start. But then I think, if you want to get the most performance out of the rod, that it is a good idea to move the guides apart until the line just does touch the blank. This will result in the fewest guides, least added weight, and keep the resonant frequency of the finished rod as high as practical. It is also a good idea for the same reason to use as light a guides as practical for the fishing application. Re: Guide spacing

I would go with Emory's advice. Hey don't take Emory's remark about spelling seriously. The big E likes to jab me about my spelling also. Hey most collage grads use proof readers to do their turm papers
Good Wraps Bob Re: Guide spacing

Tim,
Bob is right, I hope you took that as a joke. After reading it again I can see how you might not have taken it as a joke. If that is the case I apologize. Bob, That is term paper and college. I will have to say that your spelling is improving though. I used to think that you were using some sort of code. Did you get the fuse replaced in your spell checker after it blew from being over-loaded? I am not a very good speller but you have world class imagination when it comes to spelling.
