what size reel are you using? what pound test braid are you using? are you fishing around rocks or only on the beach?
ss wire guides have no place with braid, especially the older large catch guides. depending on the reel, fishing area, and pound test, you can get away w/ a 30 or 40 catch guide and go down from there. your tip doesnt really need to be any larger than a 12 and the running guides can be 10s. i'd put at least 8-9 guides on that 11' rod. look into the newer style tip tops from fuji as they are not as prone to line wrapping on the tip. the pst-style tips are being discontinued anyhow. use a sic tip also.
