Timman,

Thanks for the input, I was thinking rods in the 7' 6" range, with a soft tip and plenty of Back bone. Does this sound about right? Weight is easy to reduce by selecting the right components but it can also drive up the cost. I want to keep these priced where they will be really affordable for anyone.

Also, on guides. Does the guide feet make much of a difference or is it purely preference. Would a double footed guide be better for wear and tear on a yak?

Thanks again for all the input!!!!!!!
