Round off the blank to a 7 and then do you have At least 9 guides ??

Wes,
I just built a 6'6" SCIII and have the same reel (6# Trilene) but have no problems with line slapping the blank whatsoever. Here is the guide placement and (guide sizes) I used - measured from the tip top: TT 4" (7) 9" (8) 15" (10) 22.5" (16) 31.5" (20) 42.5" (30) These are Fuji (LVSG) Gunsmoke Stainless , SiC Guides The top of the reel to the first guide measures 24 1/2" Kind regards, Jon Edited 1 time(s).

When there is no tension on the line, it tends to billow out and slap the blank. If you adjust your guides to stop it, you'll most likely upset the more important characteristics such as casting and fish fighting.

Wes,
I would just enjoy the rod. There is nothing wrong at all with line slap on a slack line. Just enjoy the adventure. Roger Re: line slap

Line slap would be a problem if it were happening on the cast - it will rob distance. Slack line retrieve is no problem. Re: line slap

Y-frame or M guides help with that. _________________________________________ "Angling is extremely time consuming. That's sort of the whole point." - Thomas McGuane Re: line slap

If your line has any memory to it, the lack of any tension can cause it to coil a bit creating the line slap. Re: line slap
