It will be used mostly as a bottom bouncing rod with a 1.5-3oz weight. So you are continually tapping the bottom of the river. I would like to try and keep the sensitivity as high as I can. The hit from a walleye and a snag can fool a lot of people. I don't know how many times i have fished with people that think they are snagged and don't realize there on!

If you want to go with the Titanium TORZITE® Fuji's and use small guides you are headed for a KR Concept build. That would call for a TRVTG6 as a stripper (installed with the single leg facing the reel) and after that you can go straight down to your runners. I would recommend a TKBTG4.5 belly guide followed by TKTTG4.5 runners. If the idea of a full-on micro rod is more than you can jump into, use a TKWTG10 as a stripper, then TKTTG6 runners. Both of these set-ups with Titanium TORZITE® will be the lightest they can be. Re: rod sensitivity two foot guides vs one foot

Is there any reason to use a size 5 belly and then size 4 runningguides or should I use 4 all the way after the reverse stripper guide?

You're fine with 4's after the 6 stripper. Use two KB4's then go to KT's. Re: rod sensitivity two foot guides vs one foot

I am only a fly rodder. Know noyhing about other rods. Regret lack of supporting info. But...read recently somewhere that a group of people did a compairson test. They determined they cast further with snake guids. I can remember the number....10. But do not recall if it was ten feet or meters. Bottom line was further with snake guides. I prefer single foot guides anyway. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
