I was wondering if anyone on here has built the Batson/Rainshadow RCKJB508-500 Jigging Blank. Im looking for some ideas for guide spacing, types of guides to use, etc.

Thanks!

You will not be disappointed by the RCKJB series. I've built about 4 of the lighter ones now. Great sticks. We use them for rock fishing out here on the left coast. Alps XN series guides are my preferred choice. I can get you the spacing I used for the 30-60 lb blank if you want a starter.

A couple of pics of my last build using this series:
