I did the 45% from collector and the 27X method was within 2" of the Anglers Resource formula of 45%. staic test this rod and liked the set up but the concern is the runner spacing and quantity.
I suspect the runners will be fine. I have, however, had some issues with tip wraps using small runners and MNST tips that occur as the rod is taken back for a cast (not an overloop during the cast as best I can tell). I see some builders adding an "assist" guide only 4cm from the tip to counter this and am thinking about trying it.
