Batson has a page on their website that lists suggested guide spacings for most of their blanks.

This is the spacing I like on a 13' 4-piece spey/float conversion. This arrangement will most likely work out quite well on your XST also. This will place a guide right on each female ferrule, which is my preference, but certainly not a necessity.

Use the KISS way google up spacing charts Find one that fits -- Or just start with 1 guide per foot Static test Add if needed or take away Test cast add - subtract and see No rules nothing in stone
