Now let me ask you. You just wrapped yourself a nice rod......you didn't have the reel picked out before hand? Without the reel how did you locate the gather guide and the size of that guide?
I don't consider myself an expert rod builder but spinning rod wise, without giving a test cast with guides taped on and the reel you want to use to find a good size, height and distant for the "last" guide could make or break the deal.

I used the Penn Captiva to mock it all up and planned on using it all season, but got looking at a new reels and changed my mind. Hopefully if i stay within the same size reel it will suit my need.
I have build mabe 10 rods now from start to finish and always test cast them before i color preserve and Expoy them.
