Two things from today
1) Everyone should see if they like the layout without the 12 guide better than with it.
2) Run the line to locate the reduction guides from the spool center to the top of the Choker (first 10 guide) (rodbuilders method) see picture in this link
http://www.rodbuilding.org/library/spinningNGC.pdf . You can even go from the top of the spool edge to the top of the choker guide. Geometrically , this will produce the best "bullseye" but remember , a bullseye is not required. Move around and tweak the guides by casting trials.
Remember , we want a balance between the 27X method (concept) and the Exponential Method (stress distribution)
