I'm mounting a set of turbo guides. Does the large opening face towards the butt? I don't want to put them on backwards!

I used to wonder the same thing about most guides I used. This was until one day it dawned on me that most two footed guides have a slanted side and a fairly straight up & down side. Normally the slanted side faces the reel seat (to help keep line from catching on the guide frame when casting) and the straight side faces the tip top. This is how I see most rods set up.
