What is the estimated distance from the tip to the reel ? If this is a two hander the reel will move up the blank. What is the anticipated tippet size ? Do you know how many guides you would like to use ?
What is the blank tip dia ?

Bryan,

Bingham Enterprises has charts for guide spacing on their web site that you may find helpful. You can also get guide spacing suggestions from Loomis.

Anytime I've Googled "G Loomis guide spacing" I've gone to a spacing chart at Loomis for all Loomis blanks available.
