my advice would be to check out the new guide concept as discussed ad naseum on rodbuilding org and in rodmaker magzine. it has worked really well for me with braid and is straight-forward to follow. It is different than what fuji suggests. I built a rod using the rodmaker guide concept for use with a 706 and used a 40 bmnag fuji as the stripping guide. you might then end up with something like a 25, 16 and then your running guides in size 10 or so out to the tip. One of the things you will find is with their recommendations the gathering guide is in the 23-28" range (i think). It may seem close to the spool, but my rods have had gathering guide in the 28" range and it works well. Much better than when I moved it farther away. it really is worth at least reading up on that info. It helps alot.
