Building a Batson SU1209

Just picked up a Batson SU1209 from the Rod Father bait and tackle shop in Hampton, VA. I can't seem to find much info on it, anyone have good guide spacing's for it? i'm not sure if i want to go casting or spinning so i will take both.

This shop had a big selection of parts and components and blanks, glad to find a place near me that has good prices!

the blank is 10' and rated 5-12 but feels like it con throw a brick or two!

The Batson Enterprises website generally has suggested guide spacing for any blanks they offer.

You could learn to do it yourself and never use a spacing chart again...your satisfaction level will increase as well...

i know how to do it myself and plan too, was wondering if any builders on here had built one and used or made up their own spacing.
