| debigone23 |

shannon
what kinda rods do you think we use at the pier? those are "surf rods'" but we dont call them that |

Those charts probably work great for some folks. I tape guides on every blank I wrap and adjust accordingly. Thanks for posting however as those numbers can help to get you close if you're just starting to build. 8) As previously noted we build rods a bit different around here then the rest of the rod building world. :fish: | ||

Having a wire frame stripper guide 50mm or larger doesn't mean its a surf rod. | ||
| kingling |
no
im saying that 9 and 10 foot rods arnt called pier rods to the rest of the world even though thats what we call them everyone else calls them surf rods |

Like Obie said, rods from the piers here are different than the rest of the rod building world(not necessarily better or worse, but way different). I would say 9 or 10 foot rods are bare minimal for surf rods in the rest of the world . I would classify most of the larger 8+ foot rods used on the pier as medium heavy to heavy jig/live bait rods with surf rod guides. | ||
| Tiderider |
Yep, we have historically lived on jig and live bait blanks. |

That last guide size/spacing chart is for Fuji concept guides. That is a whole new can of worms.
I think the next rod I build will have those on it though. I had a 4.5' UL that was factory wrapped with Fuji concept hardloy guides. That little rod was the best casting UL I have ever used, and I have owned or borrowed several in the last 35 years. It may be time to try concept guides on a larger rod. |
