i assume you are talking about production lamiglas ron arra series rods, correct? the production rods do not have the best guide sizes and number for a good stress distribution throughout the rod. yes, they did have the principle of 'less is best' for distance and that may be one of the reasons why you see more of these blanks fail due to poor stress distribution. in reality, the length of the rod has little to do with the size of the catch guide you will be using.
if you are going to use braid, the largest catch guide you will need is a 40mm and you can even go smaller, but it does depend on your reel choice. if you plan on throwing mono a 40mm will still work, but with a wider reel such as a 704/706, the 50 may be better.
best advice, ask you local rod builder.
