Hey Gordon, I'm also new to rod building, check out a website called anglers resource if you you need concept guide spacing for spinning rods. They have a a lot of good info and the use of GPS (Guide Placement Software) is free! Also look for articles on static guide placement, I've found some good ones out there but I couldn't tel you where because I've been looking so many things up!!!
