Does anyone have the spacing on a CTS Affinity Plus 9' 5wt 4pc?


THanks,
Gene


BTW: A big thanks to Robert at Fishstiscks for his super service in getting this out to me, this blank is a BEAUTY! THe Golden Plum color looks great.

Gene,
You could probably use the St. Croix guide spacing chart for beginners and then do static deflection testing to finish proper placement of guides.

Gene,
I built on this blank last summer. I would encourage you to just do the static test as it worked just fine for me. I had planned on checking out three different rods I had built and putting one of them in my personal arsenal. The first I tried was the CTS and I didn't bother with the others -- it felt that good to my hand, heart, head. A great rod. /s/Bob

Thanks, guys. I'll get a generic spacing and go from there.
