Good Morning John,
Scroll down the left side of this page and open the Rodmaker Magazine. Select back issues and order Volume 8 Issue #1. There is a detailed article on building Great Lakes Trolling rods. This should provide an answer to your questions. Good Luck.

Take a look at this Rainshadow. It has plenty of reserve power I think. The handle set up is great for rod holders too. Batson also has Carbide Ring guides if its really necessary [www.batsonenterprises.com]
