Really appreciate all the replies back, and it definitely sets me up to tweak the guide train to fit. It does give me some assurance that some agree the measurements do seem about right. The issue with the guide spacing getting further apart is a product of the way I space and size the reduction guides. I use a similar method to Brandon, where I graph a line from the spool center to the choker

2. Reduction guides too far apart?

Hello all, Im in the works of building a 7'6 (228cm) MH saltwater rod that will be paired with a 4000 size daiwa BG4000. For the guide placement I'm using the 27x method, so with a spool diameter of 5.73cm this puts the choker at about 154cm away from the reel spool. With the spool being 41cm above the rod butt, this only leaves about 33cm left on the tip section for running guides. On top of

3. Re: KLH as running guides?

really appreciate all the responses, i think I'm going to use suggestion of doing a test with the guides I have, and see how it feels, although based on the majority of replies I have already put the correct guides in my shopping cart. Cheers

4. Re: KLH as running guides?

The guides I bought for the rod are the KLH Grey FazLite in sizes 16H, 10H, 8M, and 5 in size 6M which we're going to be the running guides. are you saying I should just reorder the size 6 guides in the KT model, and save the KLH 6M for other builds? appreciate the fast response

6. KLH as running guides?

title says it all, I recently ordered my guides for a spin rod (6'8" immortal ML) and not sure why, but I ordered all of my guides in the Fuji KLH. was wondering what were to happen if I use the high frame guides as runners, and if it'd be possible to get away with. I'd hate to have to place a new order just for a couple of guides, so I wanted to ask the experts here for some advice Thanks
