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.
