Help needed with lowrider guides for 11' Lami

[Angler Paul]

I intend to have a rod built from an 11' GSB132M Lami blank. While I know the rod is not designed for long distance casting, I want to get the most distance I can from it. I intend to use the Fuji Concept Lowrider guides on it. The rod will be used for casting 3-4 oz. plugs a good distance. I will only use braided line with this rod. How many guides should be used, what size and what is the proper spacing for the guides on this rod.

Thank you,
Paul

I've never used those guides on a 1321M. I used that rod for most of my fishing applications, except back bay fishing. 4oz is pushing it. That's just me personally. 2 3/4 oz is the sweet spot.
