Lots of guys still fishing 25 lb Ande on huge Penn reels. Many other combinations of line and reels in that general direction.
No concept build will use a 50 with braided line. They might go high frame but not big ringed.Even on a 9 foot rod , a "concept" build has the gathering guide pretty far out. If its not , its not really a concept build.
The biggest reason for big guides is that the user desides his fishing needs require it.
