too many guides
I think you can "help a blank" with a fast tip buy using double foot guides as a running system. The LC series can accomplish this with minimal added weight but I think there is a a loss of action due to the double foot scenario, causing a loss of casting distance. The distance, in my mind, would be negliable but the tip would have some measure of protection.
Eeling rods have softer tips and deeper bends so you can use fewer guides without a problem as casting distance is not a consideration,
I like the use of #8 guides when I can but have built some with 10's when weedy or mung areas are fished....it easier to clear them
