Did you rewrap the rod with the old guides?

Could be an optical illusion - but top two guides don't seem to be alighned with others.
You didn't need underwraps. Black underwraps and light upper wraps tough to do.

Yes i did. Just wanted to get some experience wrapping and see if I enjoyed the process (which I definitely do. Many more to come!)
