Your best bet is to wrap with Fuji LC series and use braid on the spinner. You would need to do some static testing for your conventional placement (and maybe add a guide or two) because these guides sit close to the blank (hence the name Lowriders). For spinning, the most important guide is the first (gatherer) and you will need to do some test casting to refine it's placement. The gatherer guide can be a 20 or a 16.

If distance is not a primary concern for the spinner then the 16 will be fine. The gatherer is wrapped "reversed', this eliminates looping the guide when casting.

I use these Fuji SiC Lowriders on all my distance fishing and heaver set-ups (all spinning, with 20mm gatherers) and will never go back to larger guides.

Daiwa is just intoducing a new (for the USA) series of dual-purpose rods with LC lowriders (Saltiga Ballistic Surf). Their retail is around 400 clams. This rod is just getting into the hands of the guys down Cape Point in Hatteras . . . some are saying they may never pick up their 1502 Lami's again.

	You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence. If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.
