most production rods are built on the straightest axis and not spined, as many custom rod builders would do. you may be fine just throwing guides on it as is because on a spinning rod, spine is not as important as it is on a standard, non-spiraled conventional rod. on a spinning rod, the line is on the bottom of the rod, so it is already stable under load. as far as guides, stick with fuji's. if you want to keep prices down, go with hardloy or alconites.
