Re Young Midge Guide spacing (2 versions) - Jeff Schaeffer

Todd:
 
Here are two posts I found in my files
 
 
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".

here is the guide spacing I decided to use on the 6'3" two piece that I am 
getting ready to finish up. 
tip top 
4.5" 
9.59" 
15.27" 
21.54" 
28.39" 
35.84" 
ferrule 
43.88" 
52.50 stripper.   
      This was given to me by Art Port and it moves my ferrule guide above 
the male ferrule on the tip and puts the stripper at about 23"s.  By moving 
the guide spacing from stripper at 28"s to this position I was able to 
increase the casting from 65' casts to 75'+ casts with no effort.  I did not 
notice the line seeming to wobble so much on the cessation of casting stroke 
like was present with the longer stripper distance.  You have to take into 
consideration I am a casting instructor so this cast may not be feasible for 
most with such a short rod.
