How do you flex the rod when determining guide spacing? Do you flex the rod to the max the rod will possibly flex? Basically like the pictures with the ugly stick having a 180 degree bend. Or do you flex it like you would when you have a large fish? To me this means the rod flexed no more than 90 degrees. Please tell me you thoughts!!! Re: Rod flex when determining guide spacing.

Read the article in the online library on static stress distribution. You're really better off flexing it in stages similar to what the rod will undergo when actually in use. The full info is in the article.

Be sure and read "static guide placement" in the library section ...link is at the top of the page Re: Rod flex when determining guide spacing.

Dan,
I flex mine to the point where I feel like the rod was designed for normal use. I don't over stress the rod at all, just flex it to a "happy medium" DR Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
