Guide spacing with float reel/centerpin

Hello all,

Does anyone have any suggestions for guide placement on a float rod which will be using a centerpin reel? The blank is 11 feet in length - if that helps.

Any feedback would be welcome.

thanks,

Tom.

Hi Karry,

Thanks for the information. I'll use it as a starting point and tweak it for a longer blank.

best,
Tom.
