15lb braid and 30lb braid on the reels . Lure weights any where from 1/2 oz on up to 6oz for fluke fishing depending on depth. For stripers maybe 3 oz jig heads max. But hope to put her on a nice bass this fall throwing some jigs.

Spencer, thank you. I guess what I was really asking is what model guides I should use. I was planning on using Fuji Sic. If I cut the suggested blank down to 6'6" or 7' I will need 7 guides plus tip. Just not sure the best model guide. Ie single or double foot "y" "v" style. Thanks guys

But which guides would work best? I saw the guide spacing suggestion on the website but it does not say which guides work best

Just picked up a Sargossa 3000 and 5000. I want to build a couple 6 1/2 to 7 foot spinning rods for fluke and stripers in NJ. I'm thinking medium to medium heavy and fast action. I was looking for advice on what size guide set and how many. Going to be my first spinning rods and plan to give to my daughter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
