Ok so I got a Bushiso BNEX72/50-80 that I need to build for tuna jigging by next Saturday. The reel is a Penn Torque S7 and when I look at the concept system with that reel. It puts the choker guide at 72” which is off the end of the blank. I seem to remember some discussion on this. I can not find it so I am curious how others would lay out this rod I am using Fuji TKWSG guides.
Thanks

Which system are you looking at?

If the choke guide is located off the end of the rod, then the tiptop automatically becomes the choke guide. If you are using a very large diameter reel on a short rod, this is common.

Tom thanks for the quick response. So you just eyeball and test the running guides and place the stripping guide by running the string to the tip top?

That would be the Cone of Flight System which I don't recommend.

There is no stripping guide on a spinning rod, although I suspect you mean the butt guide. You have to begin control at that point. I would suggest a high frame guide with a ring diameter equal to roughly 1/2 the spool diameter. From there just use whatever guides give you a straight line path on out to the tiptop. You're likely going to have to do a bit of test casting to get the butt guide location optimum, although I'm guessing that fish fighting is the priority over casting distance in your case.

Thanks, got it. Yes will mostly be a jigging rod. Very helpful as usual.
