This table defines  the typical arrangement of grip end parts per the length of rod.   Especially DynaRod's graphical output of deflections uses the length of fore grip, reel seat and rear grip. 

This table is used to calculate rod balance in [Rod Balance] function and to print rod parts list and arrangement in [PF/NC Setting] function.

Table is divided to two part, left is in metric and right is in inch and ounce.  The entry of data on one side, the other side is automatically calculated.
