Re: [VFB] Rod Building - Guide positioning

[stevenojai]

Hi Rene,

I put some guide charts on my web site that you might take a glance at. They are charts recommended by Skip Morris, Art Scheck, and Bob Widgren. Art Scheck came up with a mathematical formula that forms the basis of his chart. Fast action rods will have more curve in the upper part of the rod, so some charts use a more progressive spacing.

List, 
 
To switch back to fishing: Has anybody any reference about placing guides on a blank. In my opinion there must be differences for tip action blanks and full flex blanks, even if they are of the same weight. 
 
Any ideas?
