Fuji specs call out 47 (120 CM) from the stem. Now it seems to me that different reels would change that but their sample layouts (all those catalogs on line are in Japanese language to make life even more difficult) for LC show the reel stem as the datum.

Now for KW's and other guides when doing a "concept" layout , its from the extended spool to locate the choker then you work backwardsfrom the choker to find the stripper and reduction guide locations..

So anyway , if you read the question he references extended spool face so thats why I mentioned 43 (figuring about 4 inches from stem to spool face) but of course not all reels are the same.

If you go to Anglersresource , the GPS tool will show you many layouts for various guide types and reel info as an input. Again , there will be a gazillion options but its something to look at to help gain some understanding.
