Rods have spines. For spinning rods and casting rods you want set the eyes so the rod bends the way it naturally wants to. So the eyes on a spinning rod are set on the side it wants to bend. Casting rod the eyes are set on the side opposite the way it wants to bend. when you play a fish the rod bends they direction it is predispositioned to bend.

How to find the spine of a rod? Any good rod maker will follow this process.
