Thanks Tom

I was thinking that a guide static spacing would work Kind of like the same thing Line follows the blank

Never thought of it before Don't do many roller guide rods

Frank,
I've not built a roller guide rod but the principles should still apply.
What is the distance from reel seat to rod tip ?
How many guides are you planning on using ?
What is the tip dia of the blank ?

Thanks guys
I was thinking the static guide spacing would work but was not sure with rollers because I had never built a rod with rollers and wanted to make sure before I did it.

Thanks again
Frank McKinney
