    The H&H guide spacing chart is on this page;

    I've been looking for a 10' 8wt for a while myself... What did you get?
    Just the other day I ended up buying a rod that I'm very happy with for cheaper than I could buy a blank
    but I'm still curious

    I bought a Fiver Rivers Blank from Dan Craft Enterprises. This is the second one I have built on. The first was a 9ft. 6wt - 4 piece. The first one worked out just fine.

    I know there are some good rods out there for about $150 -- such as Echo and Temple Forks.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I received the spacing below from Dan Craft as part of an email when I requested spacing for a rod. Hope this helps or you could email Dan Craft to confirm.

    Regards Mike
