Fuji LC stripper guide but not backward? Looks like MN guides for the rest?

Looks great. Like, really great. Thanks for posting the rods section has slowed down a bit lately.

it wasn't necessary to put it backwards, as you can see the stripper guide is also not that close to the foregrip, the blank is for a vertical jigging rod but on my lift tests to find the guide spacing I found out this blank is not that bendy/flexible so, no need to put the LC guide close the to foregrip or backwards to keep the line from touching the foregrip, I was going to install a 25 MN or 20 MN guide as stripper because of the that same reason but decided on the 16LC for keeping the line still high and centered while fighting a fish with the smaller eye of the stripper guide.
