I need some help on building my first rod -- a 4 piece 6 wt kit from Hook and Hackle.

I am using a book by Art Scheck as a guide on how to build the rod. I have determined the spine. Scheck says to place the guides on the spine. Hook and Hackle says to place them on the opposite side of the spine. I have already cemented to seat with the hood aligned to the spine. I have not placed the guides.

I imagine I can still place the guides on the opposite side ofthe spine and not have any real negative effect.

Also, alot of the guides fall on or near the ferrels when I use the H&H placement dimensions. Any suggestions.

Thank you.
