I think i would use the 40HH for that rod. i would not want 8 size guide on my surf rods. No smaller than a 10. I might even use 12's. is it fuji concept...no. can get my line through 8's in the dark without missing one and running it through the frame instead of the ring....yes. it should be layed out with fishing in mind.

so 40 HH then normal 25 , 16 ,12 10 10 12 tip or 40HH then regular 25 , 20 , 16 12 , 12 , 16 tip

edited to add the 12 guide to the first layout
