Hello Fellow rod builders. I will be building my second pin rod this winter. The blank is a CTS Affinity 13' 6" 3 piece 4-8# . My handle will be 20 inches with reel approx. 2 inches forward of center of handle. I believe I will need 14 guides plus tip top. I would love some recommendations for guide spacing. I will start with a 20 and end with 7s or 8s. Thanks Re: CTS Affinity 13' 6" 3 piece float rod guide spacing

Hello Gene, back to my guide spacing wooes. my reel seat center is aprox 14 in from butt. if I place my butt guide 106 in that's 42 inches btween the reel and first guide. doesn't that seem like an awful long gap? Re: CTS Affinity 13' 6" 3 piece float rod guide spacing
