It's pretty much a spinning set-up, because of the difference in the way that the line comes off the two types of reels---in looped coils on a spinning reel, as opposed to a direct line (more or less) on a conventional. Conventional rods that have the guides spaced correctly are in effect "low rider" set-ups to start with. The days when guys thought that having only 4 guides on a 10' or 11' conventional added to distance due to "reduced guide friction" have pretty much gone the way of the days when people thought that the earth was flat.
