It will provide the same benefits regardless of the type line used.

To avoid tip or wire damage, you would be wise to use a @#$%& Spiral Roller Tip, which is available from [shop.mudhole.com] or All American Guides at [www.allamericanrollerguides.com] - both of which are sponsors on the left side of this website.

If the rod blank has a very soft tip, one that will be pointing the same direction as the line when under trolling loads, use any tip guide you want. Otherwise, if you don't use a roller tip, the wire will be subject to kinking, weakening the wire. These considerations are true no matter what the guide configuration is.
