Rene,
I've got single foot guides on most of my freshwater rods. On the saltwater rods that have single foot guides, however, I've been slowly replacing them with double foot or standard snake guides (as they fail, which they seem prone to do). The last rod I built was for saltwater only and has double foot and standard snake guides. With my experiences in salt water, the next rod i build for frreshwater I think I'm going to use double foot guides and standard snake guides.

Rodbuilders and others on the List,
I'm going to build my next rod. It will become a 8wt for walleye and
occasionally sea trout. I already have the blanc from Dorber - and here
are 2 questions:
I like the one food guides I usually use on my rods - but I have only
used them on 6wt and lighter rods. Do these rings work on a 8 wt as
well? For me they look a bit fragile. Any experience?
I would like to build the rod as a single hand rod. Is it too heavy for
it? Should I add a fighting butt at least?
Thanks
