With the advent of braided line, concept guide systems etc, what is everyones opinion on the use of a 50MM stripper guide in future builds? Yes I see where mono and big spool reels this still is a possibility. I have one opinion: Say a larger spool reel w/ braid on a concept design shorter rod length, say 9-9.6'. Bringing the stripper closer allows less bunching of runners and puts the stripper 50MM closer to reel and makes use of the power of the butt. What is everyones thoughts?
