Using that Pac Bay BSHG 70 guide really makes a rod heavy. You could probably push the all the guides down in their original locations and add a 16mm near the tip. On 10ft surf rods we use a distance of 36" from the top of the reel seat to the center of the stripper guide which is better suited for a 50mm guide rather than that 70.
As for stripping it down the above poster's explanation is right on the money.
