redoing a rod

Biulding a rod has been somthing I have been wanting to do for a while now. Getting ready to buy the crb hand wrapper. The rod I will be using is a ugly stick BWB-125 6.6 meadium heavy (20-40lb) . This rod was damaged a cople years ago and some eyes got messed up. I stripped every thing off the rod down to the bear fiberglass, except for the rod info I left that on there.
The reel I want to put on is a penn squall SQL16VS are similar.

The base of the rod I think is close to 12.5 mm
Looking at [www.mudhole.com]
It showes different sizes

Can any one suggest reel seat size and what size guides? and thinking about 8 guides in total

You will be sizing the reel seat to fit the reel foot in this case, salt water reels have bigger reel feet than bass reels so you'll need a longer and wider reel seat to fit the reel on the rod, your supplier can help you with that. I've never handled a Penn Squall, but my Penn GTi320s haven't needed anything over a 16 mm butt guide with 8 mm running guides. I used 20 mm reel seats on my rods running those reels.
