Go for it . depends on how long the blank is ,an the action, as to how many guides there will b.....no more than the norm.

It looks like it would be better as a spinner. its a very light blank. only rated to 3/4 OZ max.

FWIW, ALL of my saltwater spinning rods began as "conventional" blanks. "Spinning" blanks are usually too light for the jigging I do.

Buy the blank for the feel and action you want.
