I have an older Fenwick SP 681 rod that im redoing and I stripped of the old eyes but I can't remember what I did with them all as its been awhile since I've had them. Being a 5'8" rod I can't seem to find any spacing for this size.bor how many guides to use. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

If you use the guide spacing info in the library you won't need a chart or have to guess what guides to use. I use 7 guides.

The guide spacing I posted earlier was straight from Fenwick, it's the spacing they used when the rod was manufactured.

It seems to have vanished, here it is again, according to Fenwicks 1990 catalog sp681 is a 5'8" ultralite glass blank, from the tip down / 5" - 11" - 20" - 30" - 41" hope this helps.
