GPS Build Sheet numbers??

1st time using the GPS software on anglers resource.

Trying to make sense of the numbers from the build sheet results.

Can anyone help?

It gave me the following
Stripper Position beyond spool axle tip: 20
Stripper to Second Reduction Guide: -0.
Second Reducer to Third Reduction Guide: -0.
Third Reducer to Choke Guide: -0.
Total Reduction Train Length: -1.
Choke Point Position beyond Spool Axle Tip: 18

I am assuming the 1st number is inches from the spool but the rest of them are throwing me for a loop.

What parameters did you enter into the KR GPS?

The stripper guide is the butt guide (assuming you are building a casting or spinning rod). The choke guide is the smallest and/or first running guide that you will have on the rod. Typically you will have anywhere from 1 to 2 guides between the butt guide and choke guide. Beyond the choke guide you have running guides that simply take up the remainder of rod length.

The numbers you list above appear to be off. You may have entered something incorrectly.
