i was able to get some casting in today. i tried a couple of methods for the spacing and didn't like any of them. i basically put the guides where i thought they should go.
the blank is a odm nex1, 11', 3/4-4oz. reel was a vsx200. the layout was kl25h-12h-8m-kt8(x5)-tip. first guide was ~34" from the reel. i have to say i was very impressed. i will play with it some more tuesday but i don't see me making any changes to it. i know it's only a little test casting and i haven't used the rod yet but this may be a game changer for me. i can't see me building a rod any other way going forward.
my most recent builds have been kw30-25-20-12-10/8. this build replaces 30-25-20-12 with 25-12-8, dropping a 30 & 20 and adding in an 8m. i haven't checked the weights but that's a pretty decent savings.
