Jon thanks for the reply. This morning I did another test casting session and finally I came to a conclusion, " Is this all necesary" ? Well lets say Iv'e put more time setting up this rod to be functunal as a caster and a fishing impliment. First and foremost this rod has to perform on the water. Casting an array of plugs in any conditions, minimize wind knots and cast well. I love the response the slower GSB blank gained by the #10 runners and the crisp of feel when you geta tug. I snagged some lily pads while testing in a local pond and instanly feel the tug. my final measrements go like this: #40 stripper 32" from spool extend out with rod placement at 61.5" from tip. The remaining guides #10 are 6", 6",6"6",6.5" , transition guides, #16 @ 7.5" #25 @ 10.5 & #40 12.5". Choke guide #10 is @ 62.5 from spool lip. I casted the 6K Sustain w/ 20lb Fireline w/o a hitch then for curiousity I put on the VS 250w/50lb Stren. The Vs casted as well and almost lets say w/in 10'- 15' of the Sustain. There was 0 issues with the 2.75" spool diameter VS. The choker set up is set up for the Sustain and a Vs200 in the future. TTYS
