Fuji Low Riders?

Has anyone built a rod with the Fuji Low Riders? With these guides you can have a rod dual rung.

I'm looking at getting a breakaway 11'9" built with the Low Riders and wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with these guides.

Hey Mike - My wife wouldn't approve of me getting 2 rods, she already thinks I have too many . I've read on another site how you can use low riders on the rod and use it with a conventional or spinning reel. I thought a rod that could be used either way would be very versatile.

Hi tobias. Seams to me that on an 11'9" you won't be throwing less than 3 OZ. At those weights , if you can use either , it seams like you'd be better off using a conventional. I think the extra guides would get in the way. I could be wrong though.
