I've built and fished a lowrider setup on a GSB1321L using titanium T-LCSG since this thread was created, and I have been VERY impressed. For me, is not about casting distance (even though that probably improves a bit).......it is all about having a lighter more responsive rod that is much more enjoyable to fish.....and that it accomplishes in spades.
As for guide splinting, the size 8 lowriders near the tip don't have any perceptible effect on the bend of a surf rod with any power to it. As for lighter tip rods, you would not normally run the LCGs out that far, rather you would transition to a small running guide like the T-LDBGs.
For any rod 11 ft or longer you would be foolish not to at least test the T-LCSGs before building......unless you find the cost (about $150) prohibitive. Under 11 feet, it can supposedly be done, but not many people are talking how......and whether the casting benefits persist is uncertain.
