Rod building guide questions

Need some advice in guide placement for the following blanks: GFW932UL, FL904-1, IFW842UL, and IFW842L. I just recieved these blanks, so need some direction on several questions. Number of guides. Where to put the first or largest guide. And if it matters much the size of the largest guide. Probally use the fuji alconite guides. We fish for kokanne, and trout with downriggers. A big fish is 20 inches from colorado mountain reserviors.
