I really want to use the single foot guides so that the rigidity of a double foot doesn't "steal" action from the blank or make it whippy at the top. I considered doing the double foot stripper as well, but I think I'm going to give the all single lineup a run to start. I saw singles all the way on most of the rods I researched when making the decision. The problem is that we don't have a lot of acces to the FCL, Carpenter, etc... here in the US.
