new 10' rod build

[pbadad]

Take a piece if braid and tie it to the top of reel shaft and loop over top of choke guide and tape off tag end to blank. Slide the 30L till each touches top of guide frame. Tape or secure w/o rings. Slide a K20 next till it touches and same for a K12. You'll only need 3 reduction guides. This set worked great for a VS150. If you line slap on blank consider a KW30, KW25,KW20, KW10 or 12 (CHOKE) AND KW8 or #10 for runners .# 10 OR # 12 tip pending runner size. On another note, the KW16 would be a better ring choice instead of the 20 but lacks the height. I've mixed in a SV16 and bent frame the angle of K guides with good results.
