Fuji K Series Stripper Guide

Have not made a casting rod in a while using K series guides. This is a 7ft 3in. From the butt to the center of the
reel seat measures 13 inches. What would be the best distance to the stripper guide?

Ha! I'm out John...life gets in the way, sometimes. Rain and wind and sub-freezing temps on Sunday keep me from getting too depressed! You're obviously close by, John, how have we not met? Or have we?

Yes, Jim I am here in Mobile. I am friends with Bobby and Richard. I am in the ACFA.
I helped David and Bruce do the weigh-in at the first BOG. I have been repairing reels
and rods since becoming disabled. That's how Richard and I became friends. Have done
a few spinning rods lately and need help on this caster. I misplaced my build sheets from
previous rods. I will come and introduce myself next time I see you. Thanks again.
