I am putting together my first big game rod. The blank is a calstar, rated 50-130 . on a shorty curved handle. The vendor advised 5 large Aftco roller guides. The blank is only 5 1/2 feet and seems really crowded with 5 guides. and a 16" fore grip. Would 4 guides be better? Thanks in advance.

I fish the same area as you and use the 1081L. I think the 1m will be way to heavy to throw the swimming plugs and small rubber that you will be using on those summer nights. Go with the 1L, you won't reget it.

Picked up my first breakaway blank. I searched but found nothing about the 1145/2. It seems that the stripper guide [40 HH] will sit right on top of the ferrule. Is that ok . Also would 5 guides be enough for this rod . Thanks for any advice.
