MikesCustomRods Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Hello I'm a rod builder in Western Australia and have just been asked to build three carp rods on the American Tackle Atrex blanks. My question is whaqt are typical guide spacings on a 12'6 rod and what size guides anclding the tip? I'm planning on using the Ti Vortex Air guides. I'd appreciate any help or somewhere where i can find this sort of info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framey Posted December 4, 2023 Report Share Posted December 4, 2023 Age old question on guides… some say 50mm butt some say 40mm butt it’s usually 6 or 7 rings though depending on where you put the first one on the butt. im not a builder sorry.

You'll have to adapt for 12ft 6in, but should give you some idea. Despite fashion, 40mm is probably the largest you will need, but I would tape and try both.

kevtaylor Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 I've got 12.6ft Harrison Torrix, think ringing is 50ml - 16ml but could be wrong, what do you want - measurements between each ring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
