Rick--if you've got the extra 10 minutes, I highly recommend doing a static deflection test to determine guide spacing on EVERY rod, regardless of length. There's a very concise and informative article in the Library section of [url=http://www.rodbuilding.org:40b0f]www.rodbuilding.org[/url:40b0f] if you need a reference. Seriously...it's not something to fear (it's not ridiculously complicated) and the difference might really surprise you in castability and fishability!

All the best!
