There is, however, a "new concept" way to set up conventional guides. The fuji site shows this, basically a triangle from either side of the reel to your choke guide, and the guides closer to the reel are widths to accommodate this triangle. Given the length of surf rods, it has little practical effect.

The current trend in freshwater musky size conventional stuff seems to be acid wrap then run micro guides which weigh almost nothing. Seems to me it would hurt casting distance to twist the line under the rod, but guys claim it does not. Either way, I've never felt torque while fighting a fish was any kind of problem with surf sized stuff, let alone a musky rod, so I've not bothered to try an acid wrap. Would make sense for bottom fishing, however.
