Where do the guides go?

Any guide spacing numbers for an IM6 8'6" 4 wt?

thanks to all


Skip,
Spacings are measured from the top of the ferrule on butt joints and from
the top of the tip top guide.
8' 6", 2 piece
Butt
3-7/8"
12-1/8"
21-1/2"

Tip
4-7/8"
10-7/8"
17-5/8"
24-1/2"
31-1/2"
38-3/4"
46-5/8"

From an Orvis rod building booklet.

You should be able to find a kit somewhere with the correct number of guides
in the proper sizes.
