Side Line to Skeet Reese thread

Concerning the previous thread (more guides on S. Reese's rods) is there any merit of using say 12 guides on a 7' rod if the rod is a heavy action rod and is used with braided line? Thought being that braided line has no give comparied to mono. Would the extra guides help distribute the shock with a hard hook set. I have a rod that I am starting for a friend who is a heavy braid user.

Once you go past a certain number I doubt there is any added benefit to using many more guides.

The only added benefit to adding more guides than you need can be the weight of them slowing the blanks performance.

12 guides on Reese's rod must give him confidence. Having that in competitive fishing is a big plus. I'll put as many guides as a guy wants on a rod.But once you start pumping out a line of rods with 12 guides on them , thier not custom built. Your in production.Eventually the crow will perch on the scarecrow.Unless the blank your using warrents 12 guides.
