Thanks CS, one more question... after finding stiffest point, which side do I put the guides on for a casting rod (the references seem to conflict)?

The rod will be bent down toward the ground while rotating. I will mark the tape on the TOP of the blank, or the belly of the bend, at the stiffest point. Should the guides be placed on the opposite side of the mark, or the side facing the ground, to keep this same deflected shape while fishing?
