Thanks George , I appreciate the feedback. One of my points of confusion comes from the number of guides, say from 8 to 10 as you suggested. Most of my production rods have 7-8, what effect does the extra runner guides have? Is it strictly to increase casting distance, or is it to help load the rod more evenly due to the choice of blank, or both?

Sorry George I just re-read your post and saw that you were referring to the SIZE of the guides and not #, my apologies.
