I went to practice casting with a spinning reel rod for the first time recently.
The rod I bought is a two-part rod with additional telescoping.
I had the guides point ‘upward’ or towards the sky (opposite the reel) and in the picture you can see a bend in the line as it travels out of the reel and into the first guide/hole.
Should I place the guides towards the ground when assembling the rod (i.e. parallel to the reel) or does guide alignment not matter at all?
I got a few decent casts so didn’t think it created a big issue but just want to know what’s considered best practice/“correct”.

The line should be completely straight coming off your reel. Looks like your rod comes apart in the middle somewhere and got twisted. You just need to find the place where your rod pulled apart in line it back up by simply twisting it.
