Getting ready to build a couple of 7' schoolie rods with the grndkids and having trouble with the guide spacing,,, (translated: haven't a clue what I'm doing LOL)
Brought a small penn battle into the great guys at CMS alonG with the blank, they set me up with 6 guides and a tip,,, plus the dims for placement. Following their layout specs and placing the seat 9" up from the butt end (the 9 was my bright idea) I'm left with 26" from the spool to first guide,,, 36mm OD,,,,
This seems like too long a distance, but like I said, I don't have a clue!!!
Should I move the seat up? Space the guides out a bit? Add a guide? Sub it out?
Any help would be appreciated, I hate snow
