Absolutely. I re-wrapped my sur1266 with tiny guides concept style 3 years ago, small collector (20mm) with a VS200 rod was a major rocket launcher factory. Now it's freakin bad ass.

One of my fishing partners picked up the 10' Mojo Surf for this season and has a VS250 on it. No issues so far. I test cast it a few times with a bank sinker just to give it a shot. It smoked the sinker to the horizon. I was impressed, but will not be wrapping any rods that way for myself any time soon.

All my rods have the Lowrider guides. They're made for braided line and are suppose to give you added distance, it has for me. If you are looking at using them on your rods, it would be helpful to test your rod with different guide placements till you find the correct placements. These guide were originally intended for 12'+ rods and the first guide at a distance of 47" from the spool face. Others have used them on shorter rods with great success. These guides are also lighter and would lower the overall weight of your rod if that matters.
