I have the rod and have fished it hard for the last two seasons.

I have mine built with low riders, I did a lot of testing and liked the LC guides over the k frames.

I can give you my guide layout, as a starting point, I used a ZeeBaas 27 so should be a pretty close match.

The rod is really great, will throw anything from 1oz to 5oz rigged eels, have taken fish to low 40lb class on it.

Think you'll be happy with it.

I have mine wrapped with three K's followed by six or seven BMNAG runners to the tip. It fishes extremely well with both my VS250 and VS150.
