Minima 4 Guide Heights?

Anyone have the guide heights for the PacBay Minima4 guides? Specifically looking for the SV single foot spinning guides.

I'd rather not order extra guides as I'm setting up a seven-ft rod using the 27X outlined in the library and RB.


I wouldn't think that the heights would be consistant across manufacturers, and there couldn't be a "rule of thumb," as the reel face and length of reel stem play into the sizing.
So would the power of the blank, right?


I just finished my first issue of Rodbuilder and the back issue dealing with UL rods (they're great, btw. Thanks for the speedy response, Tom K.) and I'm all fired up to get started on this rod. The Minima 4 series seems a no-brainer for this application, especially as they come in TiCH flavors now.

The heights are listed in the catalog on the Pac Bay website, the frames are apparently exactly the same as the Pac Bay guides with inserts.

I have a set of the Match series and #4 fly guides coming, it will be interesting to work with these guides for the first time.
