Mud Hole Live: Fishing Rod Guides & Guides Spacing

From differences in guide materials, heights, and rings, to guide preparation, spacing, wrapping, and even finishing, this episode of Mud Hole Live covers all of the above and more! Demos: 1. Finding the flex point (peak) for guide placement (MHX Tournament Series Rod) - 9:10 2. Static Testing for guide placement (Static Delflection) - 49:25 3.

Browse Guide Set Kits: http://www.mudhole.com/kits-bundles/c... Guide placement is always something that tends to come with a learning curve. Luckily, we at Mud Hole try to make it as easy as possible by provided recommended spacing on our rod building kits or now even on the back of our new CRB Guide kit packaging. With the given spacing, it is as easy as placing your rod blank next to a tape measure and from the tip down, make your marks and then start wrapping. Let's go Custom What happens when your rod building gets more…custom? Let’s say you have a rod blank that is typically built as a spinning rod, but have a cool idea to build a light weight casting rod and a specific handle length? You could call Mud Hole and get one of our excellent customer service reps to assist in guide spacing, but its late at night and you need to get this project done so you can get to fishing! Welcome to guide placement and static deflection. Let's Flex the Rod Now before we tie onto the milk jug make sure the spine finder and jug are on the same plane. Reason behind this is we are going to create a right triangle. Just as in the graphic showing the rod under load, the blank is at a 45 degree angle and the line tied into the milk jug will be at a 45 degree angle once you have flex the blank. This method of flexing the blank will show you the apex or highest point where the blank arches and begins to curve down and point directly at the jug. This highest point is where you will place a guide as it is at the point of the blank flex. From this point you will temporary mark or place guides based on the flex. Placing the Fishing Rod Guides Now that you have the flex point you can use guide tubing, tape or a light adhesive to temporarily place your guides on the blank to properly arrange them based on the flex of the blank. Untie the line from the jug and allow your blank to go back straight and then place your guide along the blank paying attention to the mark you made at the flex point. If you are doing a freshwater casting rod for example, you can probably estimate around 3” of spacing between the guides from the flex point and the tip as well as a couple guides back towards the butt of the rod. This is not a set in stone number but a starting point. The spacing will be determined by the flexing of the blank. You want to arrange the guides along the blank into what you believe will be close to the finished product. Do not worry if you do not hit the ideal spot on your first try as that is why we do this static placement. Adjusting the Fishing Rod Guides Now that you have the guides temporary placed along the blank, run the line from the reel out through the guides and back to your milk jug anchor point. Remember, we want to use that 90 degree angle on the blank as a maximum flex point during a static load setup. Once the blank is loaded, you are ready to move the guide and position them to where the line does not rest on the blank while under load. Now, granted you could put 20 guides on a 7 foot rod and keep the line off the blank but that would greatly deter from the action and overall effectiveness of the rod. So, we try to walk the line of proper spacing and minimal guides. If you are new to this we do recommend the new CRB Guide Kits as they have a proper amount of guides per length of rod plus guides spacing as a backup plan if you are having trouble with the static load setup. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOLLOW US: Website: http://www.mudhole.com/ Facebook:   / mudhole   Twitter:   / mudholetackle   Instagram:   / mudholetackle   FOLLOW OUR BLOG: Click Here: http://blog.mudhole.com/ SIGN UP FOR A LOCAL CLASS: Rod Building Classes: http://www.mudhole.com/Mud-Hole-Speci...
