Big Randy Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I am building a 2wt 7'6 fly rod. Is there a standard handle size or are they built depending on the length of the rod and how do you determine the length of the handle. Also is there a method for determining the amount and spacing of the guides. I know these are simple questions but Im pretty new at this game.

Lilpdriverrat Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 7" is pretty standard but build it to the length that you want. That is the advantage of building your own, you make it to what YOU like, not what someone else tells you is right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilpdriverrat Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 This is a good starting point for guide spacing. http://www.mudhole.com/assets/images/content/CRB-Guide-Spacing-Chart.PDF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Randy Posted March 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Thanks. I kinda figured that on the handle but didnt know how it would effect the rod performance. Also thanks for the info on the rod spacing chart. Didnt even think to look at Mud Hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
