I have a set of guides that I stripped off of a rod and only needed a couple to fill in and get a smaller stripper and to my surprise, they carry the exact guides. Long story shorter, I got a 20 as I already had the next smaller and larger size. These will work for the spinning rod, so we then moved to the guides I stripped off of my broken fly rod. Keep in mind I know the basics but I’m not familiar with the components in detail yet. For a 4wt they seemed to be much heavier, material not weight, than I needed for the rod. Bought a set of light wire guides that I’ll use on it and a new tip to go with it. Next is to lay out the placement of the guides and see how the line looks going through them with a little bit of a load on it. I’m still deciding if I like the way I finished the chevron on the hook holder end. It was much easier years ago when I just wrapped everything with one color thread and smiled a lot. Thanks for your patience.
