Rewrapping an old teramar 8 foot teramar rod (king mackerel rod set with vsx200) after having moved the reel seat up a few inches. I want to wrap it with the fuji k-series aconite guide silver (KWAG) and was wondering if anyone with experience with these guides/building rods can tell me if starting with a size 40 guide and working my way up 4 guides because i want to leave the micro guides and tip would work?
If braid, I'd start with a 30. I've build or reworked guides on a number of rods, including an 8' Teramar, and used 30's. Braid is used on all these rods. I've started with 30-25-20 K guides and 30-20-16 K guides and have found both work well.
If you're using mono, starting with a 40 would almost certainly be better.
