Wayne, As I said, to each his own. If you make a bamboo rod with me and plan on
single foot guides, you will have to take it home to wrap it. LOL Now I stand

Hi Tony:
I agree. Single foot guides on a bamboo rod would be sacrilege and
esthetically unpleasant! While I have used single foot guides, I prefer
good quality snakes for all my fly rods. I have modern fly rod with single
foots and I don't like the sound as the line passes through the
Hi Neville;
I have an 8ft 6wt fly rod with gold single foot guides and don't notice any
sound at all. The builder did use pretty large guides though to keep the line
away from the rod, I think theyr'e sizes 4's and 3's. I also have another
custom built rod, a 7ft 11wt rod built for kayak
Wayne et al:
Apart from the ceramic lined stripper, the single foot guides are unlined. I
am using a standard Rio or Cortland line not the SA textured sharkskin
lines. I could be blindfolded and still recognize this commercially made
rod by the sound that the line makes passing through the

Hi Neville;
If it's that noisy, I imagine it stays home.
Just curious, how many guides does it have, how big are they and how long is
the rod?

Not at all. It is 10' 3 in length, 12 guides inc stripper and tiptop, is
rated AFTM 4/5 and is my go to rod for nymphing and Czech nymphing in
particular.
Not much casting with Czech nymphing.

Rene,
If you're not satisfied with the manufacturer's suggestion, put the
guides on with small rubber tubing (dentists use it for braces).
Then put a reel on, run the line through the guides, and put enough
weight on the line to put a good bend in the rod.
Then you can adjust the position

Have you ever used Dental Elastics to hold the guides in place. I also cut
