by the time the line gets to your first choke guide (10) it'll already be choked down. the rest of the runners are just that. there really is not any reason to increase to 12s unless you are passing a knot thru all the guides, in which case you may want to use all 12s as runners and then you should increase your tip to a 16 to pass it out the tip from the runners better. play with the location of the first 3 guides as that will take care of any line bunching.
