Food for thought. If all blanks were made to be wrapped an use in all ways then there would only be a few blanks that needed to be made.design in blanks takes a lot into consideration. I've been lucky enough over the years to see an help in the process.thats why I say it is good caution to check ist.Trust me I've made just about every mistake you can make building over time. Heavy blanks take a lot. Lighter designed ones don't do so well when the envelope is pushed .I've built a few of these rods way back before it had a fancy name to it and found them to work well. Like anything there is a place for them but the benefits sometimes aren't worth the time in trial an error to get the propper layout to fit the rod. There really isn't a text book answer as far as whats best.Enjoy playin with it but try a few taped on set-ups before your final wrap. Then for the heck of it tape the guides on normal an see if you can feel or see a difference.Have fun with it.Nice part of rod building is the journey in the learning. Ron
