Is there a list of tried and true reel measurements for the GPS software?
The reels I want to use aren't listed and I'd love to be able to double check my measurements.
For the Diawa BG 3000 I got
76mm to axle
85mm to bottom
122mm across the seat

Thanks Norman. I agree that a reduction should consist of 3 to 4 guides, then belly, then runners. That makes sense to me. Why would the GPS give me this feedback? The KR software seems spot on logically but the GPS seems way off to me.

Thanks Jim. The GPS model for a Diawa BG3000 recommends an 8 guide reduction train with a choke point at 31.3 inches. That seems like a lot of guides crammed into a short distance. What am I missing. This recommendation is using my measurements. However, even selecting a reel model that's already listed a similar train suggestion is given.

I know similar topics have been discussed and for that I apologize. I'm building multiple 78" and 84" light inshore rods. Primary use will be for sea trout and small to slot drum.
I will be fishing size 2000 and 3000 reels and running mostly 6 to 12 lbs mono.
I have completely over thought the whole reduction train process and I'm about to pull my hair out. I have used the gps
