spinning cone of flight.

when the line passes through the butt guide as you reel, should the line circle around the inside of the butt guide without touching the sides. i'm building a 7' rod so i figured if i put a reel on and taped on the butt guide and tip then run the line through, this should allow me to slide the butt guide to a point where the line circles through the inside of the guide. rather then just pick a distance from 24" to 36" from the center of the reel seat to start, and then re-adjust with the stress test. will this work?
