Read down here, and the measurements for guide spacing are given. These are
taken from my original Midge, built by PHY in 1954.

I posted the dimensions on the guide spacing to the list last night. Let me
know if you didn't get it.

    I hope I'm sending this info out to the list, without the attachments,
which I hope I've sent to all that asked. I never dreamed I would get so
many requests, so didn't handle it very well.

    Anyone who missed the photos, please let me know, and I'll get them off
to you.

      Here is the guide spacing on the PHY Midge.

      Starting at the tip: 5", 6-3/8" 6-13/16", 6-7/16", 7-7/8", 5-1/2", to
end of male ferrule. Male portion that fits inside the female is .875".

      From end of female ferrule: 5", 9-1/2", 16-1/2" to front of grip,
3-15/16" to end of grip, 3-1/8" from end of grip, to end of rod/reel seat.
Total length of the entire female ferrule is 2".

      I have taken 3 photos of this rod, which are attached. If your
software will allow you to blow them up, you will see the "Little Ike", I
used from Paul's catalog, of 1954.

      If you have any problems, just let me know., and I sure hope this
helps.

      This comes out to be 6'-3", almost to the hair.
