What Joshua said . And use Fuji BLAG fly guides for your running guides, #6 or #5's are good. Or you could go Micro.

The smaller the better for running guides on a ultralight if you have no knots to pass. Also perhaps a micro sf used as a tip top.

I'm going to suggest looking at wire-frame guides for light weight and a very different look and feel.

You need to set the rod up and use whatever guides are required to maintain the desired line path.

Consult the New Guide Concept article in the online library here.

I built an ultralight spinning rod for exactly your applicaiton, using Batson "M" ultralight guides, matching single foots, and the NGC system. Its came out great.
