If any one has built a 7 FT spin rod with a Penn 450 SSG reel on it, what size butt guide did you use ?

With Titan single foot spin guides and 10 LB test line.

Thanks

I have an older 7' st.croix. The reel which was an older 450ss(before they turned to all graphite) my butt guide was a 30 double foot guide.

Thanks guys
I don't have the reel and was wondering if I could get the size of the Face Plate of the reel. Going to use 10 LB line and I am thinking 25 single foot ?

Looking at the reel again, Iam going to order a 30 also. Better to have too many
