Sawzall Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Tried the searches but couldnt dig up the guide spacing. Any suggestions on where to start. To be used with VS 200. Fuji BSVLG as guides. "It is required of us that we be tender of the good name of our brethren; where we cannot speak well, we had better say nothing than speak evil."

canyondiver Posted February 24, 2004 Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 40HH, 30H, 25H, 25M, 20, 16 top You fishing mono or braid on this rod? Stripper should be around 34"-38" from the reel, but this spacing will depend on the line used. You should get it as far from the reel as possible while having no line slap. The other guides sapcing will depend on static load test and may need to be fiddled with in test casting. CD Proud to be a NERB and I have the shirts to prove it!!

Sawzall Posted February 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2004 Are you saying not to use the BSVLG and go with the BHVLG instead. I'll be using braid.

gadwall8 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 F canyondiver I have a 2F and 2M, top of a 706 to stripper is 44 inches. 16 tip, 16@ 10 3/4", 20@ 20", 25@ 30", 30@ 41", 50@ 58" Play around with a stress distribution and test casting as all blanks are different. The 2F is my favorite spinning stick, throws a mile and works a pencil w/ two fingers The 2M is nice too, but just doesn't have the backbone of the F. Yer gonna love it, gad "I came into this world naked, screaming at the top of my lungs, and covered in someone else's blood. I got no problem leaving it that way."Who can hope to be safe? Who sufficiently cautious? Guard himself as he may, every moment's an ambush. Horace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canyondiver Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 Hey Gad... He said he's fishin' braid... A 50mm for a stripper??

surfrat59 Posted February 25, 2004 Report Share Posted February 25, 2004 I'm with Gadwall on this one, 1362F is the finest pencil popper rod made. Mine goes BSVLG 50-40-30-25-20,-20 BPLTtip with similiar guide spacing, stripper a little closer at 40" to reel seat center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Billy was telling the truth about the low riders and braid, you could start with a 25 or 30 I thought I would use mono when I built the rod. I now use braid exclusively and the rod remains awesome. You could use a 40HH, but then you lose that cool retro look gad "I came into this world naked, screaming at the top of my lungs, and covered in someone else's blood.
