Could someone give me a layout and guide size for a PB761MHF blank used for Pitching. It will be 60 120 180 Spiral Wrap.Or tell me how to do progressive spacing and figure guide size, Norman could I use the same size guides as my PB731 MXF rod. I went with 5KT & KB for the runners on that one Thank you. Re: Guide train and size for PB761MHF

If you like the guide style and sizes used on your previous rod then use them again. Place the stripper about 20” in front of the reel. Place the first runner about 9 to 10 cm from the tip and progressively fill in with the other guides to get a good starting point. Static test and test cast to fine tune the spacing. I would use about 10 guides total on that rod and you could get by with 9 total with the spiral wrap.

The KW10, or RV6, is the Fuji recommended stripper guide for a KR casting setup. Unlike a spinning setup, the line used is not as important for a casting setup These recommended strippers are at the right height above the blank for optimal performance. Use it as you did for you last build. You might be over thinking this, just get the guides placed as mentioned above and test. You should be just fine, and you’ll get a sense on how to layout a casting rod. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
