I'm also thinking that this Shimano Stradic doesn't have much upsweep. I just started all over again and now my choke point is 66.2 inches. Last time it was 42.2 in.

Alright this my first attempt at a rod build and I may have bit off more than I can chew. The blank is a Rainshadow Immortal Inshore 7''6" (IMMP76MH) Mod. Fast. The reel is a Shimano Stradic 4000 Ci4. The guides are Fuji KL-H purchased as a kit which includes a 25H, 12H, 7M, 5.5L, and (6) 5J. My issue is with the proper guide placement. Using the included Fuji Guide Spacing chart gives
