Even sellotape would do the job. Butcher tape just looks tidier. Start with the top 4 rings, I use one wrap of tape, run the line through them and bend the rod, move rings as needed until line is not touching the blank then work your way down also taking into account no sharp line angles from ring to ring. Usually rings 3 and 4 are the most critical on fishing rods after that you can get away with going by eye based on the rods curve. The joy of using tape
