Just picked up a Sargossa 3000 and 5000. I want to build a couple 6 1/2 to 7 foot spinning rods for fluke and stripers in NJ.
I'm thinking medium to medium heavy and fast action.

I was looking for advice on what size guide set and how many. Going to be my first spinning rods and plan to give to my daughter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ROdgeeks Extreme Composites XC 733, 7'3 can be cut down to 7 feet, and it's ideal for the fishing you are doing, as it was designed by someone who lives there and does that fishing (me)

Thanks Billy. Any recommendations on which Fuji guides would work?

Cut from which end?

I would assume butt end. Those blanks are able to hold heavy sinker weight. I don't see the need to cut the tip.

But which guides would work best? I saw the guide spacing suggestion on the website but it does not say which guides work best

Doug,
Lot's of guides will work well. It's like asking who makes the best truck.
Titanium is the best for corrosion resistance, but you pay for it. Stainless has a great history of holding up well, just needs a freshwater washdown/rinse to hold up for years with no corrosion. No one stays in business as long as the sponsors to the left without building outstanding guides. I've used them all with great results. I have one rod that spent 2 years of it's life in Florida saltwater with little of no washdowns, riding in the steerage compartment of a Coast Guard ship when not in use, than both fresh and saltwater for the rest of it's 30 years on black Fuji guides.

All of my production saltwater rods have fuji guides on them. I wash them down after each use, no corrosion whatsoever. When I finally do build my first saltwater rod, Im going to try the Atlas ring lock guides which are Titanium. They are a bit on the pricier side but look cool. I could go with the standard fuji guides, but want to try something different.

Most of my saltwater rods (bottom, fly, surf, spin) have minima 4 guides on them. I use fuji k guides for my heavy surf rods and amtak virtus on some heavy bottom rods but the minima guides work great.

Spencer, thank you.
I guess what I was really asking is what model guides I should use. I was planning on using Fuji Sic. If I cut the suggested blank down to 6'6" or 7'
I will need 7 guides plus tip.
Just not sure the best model guide. Ie single or double foot "y" "v" style.

Thanks guys

K-Series. What line and lure wieght range will she be fishing?

15lb braid and 30lb braid on the reels . Lure weights any where from 1/2 oz on up to 6oz for fluke fishing depending on depth. For stripers maybe 3 oz jig heads max. But hope to put her on a nice bass this fall throwing some jigs.
