I WANT TO BUILD A NORTH FORK LMX (FASW 1106-4) 11' flyrod.... but can't find GUIDE SIZES.

I HAVE THE GUIDE SPACING, BUT NEED THE SUGGESTED GUIDE SIZES... CAN ANYONE HELP?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.

If I was building it, I would use 12 & 10 double foot strippers and size 3 single foot wire guides for the rest.

6 weight. I would do #12 and 10 (or 8) stripping guides and follow with all 3's (2's would be OK as well). [www.rodbuilding.org]

You going single foot or snake guides?

I built a Sage: 12, 10, 3 which is the same ID as my 10, than 2s to the tip. Works great.

I've built mine using full fuji torzite guides. KW 16 12 then KT 10 8 and the rest KT7
I find this set up shoots an impressive amount of line

five different guide sizes..it looks like the fly world has discovered the Cone of Flight..lol..

well, that's exactly the point. the concept stems from my distance casting rods, which were inspired from tuna popping xxh rods. the idea being to try and minimize friction by having straight concentric guides when seen along the blank axis. the difference is probably small, but I quite like the way it feels when the the running lines shoots into the guides.

A fly line is ten or more times thicker than a mono or braid spinning line, and a fly line is several times less flexible than a mono or braid spinning line. Comparisons between fly line and spinning rod lines are unlikely to provide much useful information.
