If you want to cut everything off the rod and buy $185 of titanium guides I've got a layout that works well on a 1321M but that seems a shame for a nice rod with little use.

The problem with the set up you have now is going to be guide loops with braid. If you use heavy braid, or better yet fireline, you might not have a problem and the rod would be fine as it is. Alternatively you could strip the tip section and rebuild it with K guides (probably starting with a 30L) in a NGC layout.

This site Fuji Rod Components - Anglers Resource is a good resource and has a guide placement system that will help you.
