Bought a couple rod geeks blanks for inshore as well as some bass fishing at the ICRBE in february and I've been so busy I haven't even been able to look at them. I'm hoping that after iCast things will slow down enough to be able to take a weekend to get back to it and build. Got some of archie's cedar grips at the show as well so I just need to get them reel seats and the guide trains. The cedar grip is going to extend the length of the rod about 3-4" so looking in the ball park of 7'3-7'4 medium fast action. I'm planning to use the KLAG-H KR Spinning guides and have never used KR concept before. In fact I've only build a couple of spinning rods most have been casting. How many guides would you pros go with? I'm thinking reduction of 20, 12, 8 with 6's for runners but not 100% sure. Need to be able to pass a 20lb fluorocarbon leader comfortably with an FG Knot, also if you could point me in the right direction for the appropriate matching tip top I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for y'alls time!!! Has been over a year since I've had the time to build and ready to get back at it. Hoping to take these to another level aesthetically. Re: KR Guide train recommendation

Have you checked out the kr gps from Anglers resource?
[anglersresource.net] Ive done a couple rods with high framed match guides using this concept and they came out real good. I just ordered some fuji guides for my first true kr build. Gonna try the reduction sizes that the gps gave me and go from there. It will be 16h 8 h 5.5m And 5's to the tip Matt Re: KR Guide train recommendation

Check out pages 4 and 46 of the Fuji catalog, easily accessed under the catalog button on the Anglers Resource web page. Click on it on the left margin. Re: KR Guide train recommendation
