Guide spacing

[Carl Smolka]

For those of you building your own rods, the calculator referenced below will give you a couple of options for spacing your guides.

Tight lines,

Hi Carl,

You can download the Windows install file here:

www.carlinbamboo.com/programs/GuideCalculator.msi

Or, we ported the program into a website a few years back (with the improvement of using the Cattanach method as well as the Clemens) so you can also run it from a web browser if you'd prefer:

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Chris

I have source code in Python that matches these pages.  The one I prefer is the Art Scheck formula as described here.

It is the same formula used in Carlin's guide calculator with some rounding errors.

As a reference, These are a good start, but after you tape your guides on a static test is worth it.

Glad you clarified that - I was confuse and thought maybe one or the other or both of you were victims of auto-correct
