I sight down the rod once the line is strung. That yellow line makes it easy to see if it's straight or not. Then , before you break down the rod, you could use a paint marker from Michaels in a color that complements the wraps or other writing on the rod -- you can get metallic silver or gold, for example. It does make setting up easier.

I've always just sighted down the rod against the sky above and ignored the line-up marks. You could take some white-out and do your own if you want -- I used to white out my bait rods so I could see the tip move if a catfish or carp was messing around with it in low light conditions ;).--Gene

The 2 piece is obviously easier to assemble accurately, but the 4-piece is always a pain. Anyone have any tips for getting around this, or type of paint that I could use to mark myself? I was thinking craft paint from Michael's or something of the like. But even then, anyone have a great way to know your pieces are 100% lined up before marking?Thanks in advance!
