I am considering having a fly rod assembled and have some questions that I need answers for before I can commit to doing anything because once it is completed, it will be too late to ask questions.

The blank I am considering is the RX7. I want the rod to be 8' 6" long and a 2 piece. I want the rod action to be somewhere between med and fast and I really mean in between. I may be asking for something that does not exist, but, I do not think so. I do not want it to be a "fast" action and I do not want it to be a "med" action.

Would I be correct that the RX7 blank is pretty much what I am looking for as far as action?

My next question is the line guides which I feel snake guides will be fine but I am wondering if I want double foot guides or single. In my mind, double foot guides may assist the blank to lean more to "fast" whereas the single foot may make it lean more to "med". My thinking, which could be "all wet", is that double thread wraps on each guide would "stiffen" up the blank.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks in advance.....
