proper guide spacing on a 3 piece 9ft fly rod

anyone have any ideas on this one? i have a customer that is wanting two fly rods done and this is something new to me...

thanks

Tyson, just place the guides similar to a spinning rod and do a static test to space them out. Make sure there are no flat spots and a nice smooth curve in the rod when loaded. You'll probably need 8 or 9 guides. What blank are you building on?

I'll get a spacing for you tomorrow at work..

tight lines

i dont know which one i will build on yet...got any suggestions?

Can't go wrong with a rainshadow. If they are interested in a 4 piece the RX8+ is probably one of the best fly blanks made.

whats the ballpark price on them?

I sent you an IM

I kinda like the Gatti blanks fer fly rods.
