I appreciate the time to discuss these options. Personally i like the idea of all the guides on the the tip section and was pleased to see you agree with the KW30 or 25 location. The upsweep angle on the Diawa 5K emblem is around 2 degrees. The computer calculate the measurements for the ckr @ 98" from axle tip. THis is why I used the 27 method. I also do a bulls eye check for guide line up to ckr. Both those set ups shoot perfectly through. I will pick up guides now and start the proces over and work oon the stress testing and then test casting. The blank is a Pac-bay 110M-2. Mod-fast action. I just hope the weather doesn't go down the tubes b/4 i get the set up ready. I will be checking back.

Finally received the K frame guides.KW 30, 25, KL16, KT 10 w/5 KT10 runners & MGST12 tip. Did the axle line method to the top of choker guide frame. The KW 30 is 30.5" from extended spool face and the second guide KW25 is 47" from spool. The KL 16 is 61" and choker 72" The remaining runners are 5" apart to tip. ready to cast it but Mother nature killled it today. Stress test looked very good. amazing different load feel with the runners compared to the same rod with COF high frame set up. Lets see how the line reacts when I cast it.
