Hi guys, I'm building this blank ( [www.mudhole.com] ) and was wondering if I could get some suggestions on guide sizes and number of guides? This will be fished from the beach, and I would like to spiral wrap it. The reel will be a Avet EXW 80 wide ( [www.tackledirect.com] ), and biggest line size will be 200lb mono. This will also be my first spiral wrap, and I'm unsure about guide sizing on conventional/baitcasting reels as I build 99% spinning reels. If anyone could point me in the direction of some tutorials on guide sizing for casting/conventional and spiral wrapping, I would appreciate that very much too. Thanks a lot!
P.S. The baits will be kayaked out not cast. Re: Guide help for 6'0 unlimited blank

I have done quite a few of these 80w class builds, and i really like the XHXNZG guides from ALPS, with a zirconium insert. They have black and silver. I would go with 25, 20, 16, 12s as determined by static load testing. For the sand, i do not use rollers, and i have not seen a situation where i've needed them.

Awesome, thanks! I figured rollers might be a problem in the sand. Could you tell me how you arrived at using a 25 for the guide closest to the reel? Re: Guide help for 6'0 unlimited blank

Hbsg fuji is the guide I like. 6 ft bent butt spiral wrap I go with 20, 16, then the rest 12 to a 12 tip. Re: Guide help for 6'0 unlimited blank

The 25 is the biggest they make. That guide needs to be somewhat large because the reels (80w etc) are wide, and when the line is all the way over on one side, u don't want it to choke down too fast. It's pretty standard. a 20 is pretty small... Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
