Just wondering how many people do test casts after they do the static load test to determine guide placement.
While I was on holidays I was using the rod I did at the RBW and noticed that I was getting some line slap on the blank. This is probably robbing some casting distance (how much I'm not sure).
I didn't test cast it before I put the guides on.
I'm going to tape another guide on and try it to see what difference it makes, but I guess if I had done that first, my placement may be slightly different on the rest of them :-/
Mind you it still chucks a bait a long way and the slap is not terrible. Just maybe it could be improved.
