If you are throwing braid you could also test cast LCAG 20-12M-10 then KW runners.

Put the LCAG 20 reversed at about 38-40" out and tweek it from there.
The casting distance will likely be similar, the LC layout probably a bit tip lighter.

I have not tried this with a 250 size spool but it works very nicely with a ZB25 on an 11 ft rod and for the added price of three LC guides you might find it worth testing.

If you are really adventurous (and I have not yet tried this), there is another option you can try, again for the price of 3 guides. Get a 25 Kl-H, 12KL-H, 8KL-M, then 8 runners (maybe KT's and you'll need a few extra). Use the software at anglersresource to help place the collector then go from there. You will be dealing with single foot guides, but when you see how light a rod you get it will be hard to resist. There is a wrapping technique that works well (I think it is called a Forlan wrap) where you can lock the single foots in.
