Having trouble locating a starting point for the guide layout on this guy. This is my first switch rod. Can't be too much different that a fly rod, right?
I am considering just starting with a 10'-8" switch rod layout and static testing from there. Thoughts? Thanks Josh Re: FSW118-4-MHX Recommended spacing?

If I were doing it I would do just what you are doing. Start with the 10'8" switch rod spacing, move everything back about 4", add a running guide at the tip, and then do some static and cast testing. Edited 1 time(s).

Josh,
If you give me the anticipated distance from reel seat to tip and the number of guides you wish I could come up with some distances for you. The anticipated tippet size and blank model or specs would also be useful. Eugene Moore Re: FSW118-4-MHX Recommended spacing?

Static test should tell you how many and where the guides should be placed Go with the flex of the blank Bill - willierods.com Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
