I know there are not supposed to be any flat spots when static testing guide placement. I was just wanting to ask if this is acceptable before I wrap. [www.rodbuilding.org] Hopefully I set this link properly. Please let me know what you think. Any comments/suggestions are welcome. Re: Static alignment

You could set the 2nd and 3rd guides just a hair closer to each other, but what you have isn't going to result in any sort of problem.

I agree with Tom.
What you have will work just fine. If you were very picky, you might consider adding one more guide and place all 4 of the first guides just a bit closer to each other. The new spacing would load the rod a bit more evenly, but what you have is certainly just fine. Take care Roger Re: Static alignment

Rule of thumb is one guide per foot of blank, plus one. Bill - willierods.com Re: Static alignment

It appears to me that the distance between guides 3 & 4 in static picture # 1 is less than the distance between guides 2 & 3 but it may be the way the picture is oriented. I always thought that the distance between the guides should increase as you start from the TIP with the first guide between 4†& 5 “ from the TIP. On a 7’ spinning rod that I built I have 7 guides + a TIP. I have only built about 7 rods so the experts on this board have a lot more knowledge on this than I do. Re: Static alignment

Just to start -- 7' rod 7-8 guides plus tip top. Then you static test like Tom says. Bill - willierods.com Re: Static alignment

It's 91/2' surf and has 10 + tip. I've done a little more tweeking and I think I have it where I want. Thank You all for your responses. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
