Tagger,

Good eyes--I noted same two guides and a tip.
But I think conventional in those days were always
short of guides. In late seventies I gave a 10'
blank to a relative to build a conventional for me.
It came back with only three guides and about 7'
of rod before the first. I tried with no success to
get back into conventional casting with that rod before
I turned it into a spinner and took many big
Stripers with it with no problem. Are we over doing
guides on today rods?????
