I've actually got 2 rod blanks building one for myself and one for a friend. He is very against single foot likes the durability of double. I'm open to single so I guess I will build one with KL and the other with KW.

Great sounds good Norm thank you. Thinking of doing the kw30 kw25 kw16 and kw10s as runners should work good yes??

Sorry was out of the country. Thank you all for all your help and support very much appreciated. I am a novice builder so parden me.
Definitely want to do double foot so should I use a RV20H as 1st guide (I don't see a kw-h, something comparable to the 55.9mm Norman mentioned) and the follow with kw12 kw10 reduction? Recommend single foot runners (KL and KB) over using KW?

3m adhesive vinegar and warm water.
I love the hb guides well made actually fit the blank nicely high profile. found I can use less when I do deflection tests. Built my first couple rod with fugi SV didn't like the look and felt dinky. What do you guys use for 20+# rods?
I would post some pictures but Im not sure how

Hello all I'm new to the forum and fairly new to the rod building hobby so please excuse me if I ask dumb questions, I've got a million.
So my latest build is a calstar 970 7' 20-40# using Fuji HB guides I've laid gold abalone under the first 4 guides and really love the look and didnt have any issues with cracking. I would like to keep the theme going to the tip. My old rod builder told me he
