Gerald,
Often the best answer is a combination. Roger Re: High frame vs low frame

The last one I did, I mounted the reel and ran the line thru the tip top and used a cobination of guides to follow the straightest path with least drag. A running guide was tied as a top and final static testing gave final guide number and placement. So far so good. Re: High frame vs low frame

A slight modification to Mike's post is to select a point where you want your running guides to end. Normally this is about the 1/3rd spot on the blank as measured down from the tip.
Then, put on a running guide at that point, and a tip on the rod. Then with your reel of choice, run the straight line from the top of the reel to the top of the running guide. This likely is a better straight path and more realistic than taking a straight line to the tip. Good luck Roger Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
