here's the best picture of the transition guides , just remember that this is on a 9 ft. rod , so the transition is pretty slow though the picture doesn't make it appear so !!!

Definitely meant as a compliment and not me trying to take your idea but I've been working on guide placement on a 6' 9" spinnerbait rod for awhile using microguides and I was considering spiral wrapping cause I was having a hard time getting the train right to where I wasn't having the line touch the blank under load. But after seeing your work there I'm seriously thinking about going home and starting over again and doing the spiral. I bought the micro set though that had a 8  then 2 6's and then 8 4's. I'm thinking I can use the 8 and both 6's for the transition and the 4's all the way under the blank.

i would pick up another size 6 guide and have another transition guide . so the 8 as the stripper , three 6's for the transition , 4's out to the tip top .

There's no need for all the different sizes unless you find the progression aesthetically pleasing. On a typical bass Rod you technically don't need anything bigger than the level wind line guide. Generally I use a double foot 6 right into the running guides.

I was going to go ahead and add the 6 but went out and test casted a few times to see how it was doing and it was working really well so I decided to give it a shot. I know i'll end up building another one of these because I've learned so much from doing this first one.
