This kit came with chrome snake guides, I'm thinking these may not be right for such a short and light weight rod--would like to use titanium single foot guides' but don't know what size, how many and spacing . Thanks for all help and comments on this rod.

Titanium singlefoots only go down to a size 1 so I'm not sure how much you'd save in weight, I'd instead go with the smallest stainless thin wire single foots, 2/0 I think is the smallest single and bigger than you probably need on a 2 wt.
