I think you will find that using the small guide "concept" system will interfer with your fishing. Number one thing to remember , its a fishing rod. Don't ruin its fishing effeciency by trying to get 7 more yards on a cast by using "concepts" that only look at the casting side of the equation.

For what you describe , I would use Fuji BSVLG guides from a 40 gathering guide to a 12 final guide and a 16 or 12 PST sIc tip. Use only 5 guides if possible but 6 is OK.
