As I recall, the 8 1/2' Fly Queen I used to own was a middleweight rod, a fairly stout taper, like for a line between 6 and 8 weight. I'm thinking it had 8 guides on it, right? 1 stripper, 3 snakes on the mid, 4 snakes on the tip (or maybe only 3, for a total of 7 guides.)

In my experience, the heavier line weight rods don't necessarily improve... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (freestoner) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/141429 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 15:00:20 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/141407/t/Poll-Need-help--modest-restoration-project---Guides-.html#reply-141407 I cut the difference - a beautiful lightline 8.5 Montague trade rod received one extra guide on the tip section ( a vintage stock guide) to make it have 7 guides plus tip and stripper. This is a fine rod, but will be fished greatly and there really was too much line slap with the original... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (nativebrownie) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/141407 Sat, 06 Jun 2009 11:40:38 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/141270/t/Poll-Need-help--modest-restoration-project---Guides-.html#reply-141270
Pete, as far as non-original territory, I'm not sure what constitutes that - but I'm still relatively new at this. I have all the original guides, hook keeper, and tips - the only new addition would be the thread and the varnish (unless I add guides, then I'll get some Snake Brand guides). I'm still debating what to do!

Any more opinions?

Seems to me that you're already in non-original territory with a rebuild, so why not make the rod as good as it can be, with the extra guides? You'll be happier with it, and if you do a good map and keep thread samples, you can always redo it to original specs if you want to sell it later on. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Pete Appel) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/141234 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 06:14:10 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/25112/t/Poll-Need-help--modest-restoration-project---Guides-.html feeds@yuku.com (lstshkr) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/topic/25112 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 01:40:40 GMT
