Guide spacing help needed

I just purchased a bunch of Lamiglas blanks from Anglers workshot. They are Lamiglas International Sardina 6'6'' I665H 30-60 blanks. Do any of you have any ideas for the size and placement of the guides on them? i am going to use them for jigging halibut in Alaska. I plan on using a 10" slickbut and a 10" front grip if that matters. Thanks for your help!
