Hello I have a 4 pcs Batson Forecast blank F908-4 (9' #8) that I want to build as a light weight travel spinning rod. Does anyone have a suggestion to how many guides to use and the spacing? Thank you very much Kim Hermann, Denmark Re: Guide spacing

Thanks Kim N - I allready had consulted the library. Well finding a guide spacing chart is no problem. The problem is that general guide spacing charts are general and should allways be adjusted to the specific rod. I would never have asked for a normal 2 pcs spinning rod. This is my first time building a 4 pcs spinning rod from a fly blank and I just hoped that some of you cleverer people out-there had some specific experience. Re: Guide spacing

The library page does not have a generic guide spacing chart. It outlines the static distribution method that will give you optimum spacing for your rod. ......... Re: Guide spacing

We may have a communication problem here. Kim H. - the Library page they are referring to is on this site - scroll up as far as you can go on your monitor; there is a menu that goes from left to right, white letters on a black background, Library link is on the far right. Look for the article on the static distribution test. Re: Guide spacing

Also on the Library page is the 'New Guide Concept' article. It is especially for spinning rods. Ralph Re: Guide spacing

Kim, I recently built a 5' 6" Lt. action 3 piece spinning rod for my brother. I used the end 3 pieces of a Cabelas 5 pc 6 wt travel rod blank. It casts a Mepps #3 wonderfully (which happens to be his favorite lure). I used 5 guides plus the tip and spaced them as I normally would on any spinning rod. Hope that helps and good fishin'.

P.S. Forgot to mention that BatsonEnterprises allso send a suggestion, which after testing with taped eyes seems OK. Kim Re: Guide spacing
