I don't want to go with any #8 because I see to much failure in the rings.

Mike, just to avoid confusion, isn't this a "lowrider" setup, not a "new concept" setup (as you referred to in your initial post).
Likewise, Scottw, I think you've built a lowrider set up using new concept (BMNAG) guides, which is fine since it works. Fuji's instructions for their new concept guide spacing would use a larger guide much closer to the reel seat.
Again, there are now three accepted ways to set up a long spinning rod.....the standard time tested "cone of flight system", the more recent "new concept" system, and the still newer distance casting "low rider" system. It seems agreed that casting distance is best with a properly setup low rider system, but setting it up properly on rods less than 12 feet is still a work in progress (particularly when employing a wide spool reel like the emcast) and there remains the disadvantage of a long spool to gathering guide distance that distributes the load when fighting a large fish way up the blank.
