2. anyone have any preferences on reel high or low for that particular rod.

4. what reel seat ye recomend?
5. and diamite or ordinary tip eye ring.

hello there, you can get the spacings by logging onto the world-casting
forum, i personely would fish the rod low, again the daometers you
will find on the world casting forum,use a moveable reel-seat, you can put
it to suit youre-self, abu make a very good one with a casting trigger
incorporated onto it, diamite tip ring for fishing ,would bre my preference

good luck, steve.

hell tom, i think youre dead right mate, every rod i see nowadays has
a diamite tip fitted, even the rod builders are fitting them on their rods,

all the best tom, steve.

hello hughcranan, just one more thing you havent mentioned, is zoneing
the blank, ie which side to put the rings on, for a muliplier they are
put on the soffter-side of the blank,and fixed spool vice-versa, you
just need to find the spine of the rod, tom can probably explain better
than myself, it is far more important than what type rings to use etc,etc,

regards steve.
