LC guides will be difficult to use on a 9 foot rod and heavier and stiffer than the alternatives. I'm not saying it can't be done, but I suspect it can't and even if it can it will be VERY difficult to get good casting performance from an LC set up using a big spooled reel on a short rod.

Go with the KW guides.

Try 30-20-12-8888, or 25-16-10-8888. You could also switch over to the single foot KT for runners. Use a tip one size up.
