Building one also!

I am in the process of building the exact same rod in spinning trim.


Going with the following guides in hardloy 50, 40, 30, 20, 16, 12
with a 12 ring SIC tip

Spacing is as follows but still needs slight tweaking!

50-57.5"
40-43"
30-32.5"
20-23"
16-14.5"
12-7"

My seat is fixed at 25.5" to center of seat.

Hope this helps!!

I tried to set the guides up with a 25 between the 30 and the 20 and then go to a 16 without using the 12 but I like it better without the 25 and adding the 12.
