Guides for a saltwater rod

Hi All,
I'm building a 9' 8wt saltwater rod and was going to use some Hopkins
and Holloway hard chrome low rider guides.
Just thought I'd check with you guys to see if this choice of stripping guide will be
ok, in terms of corrosion etc - assuming, of course, I'll be washing the guides after
use.

Thanks in advance,
Glen

I'm currently building a 9' 8 weight and I'm using single foot ceramic spinning guides. The ceramics will give you less friction when fighting a heavy fish, and I think, cast better .
