Minima guides on mh 7'

Curious what guides others use on a mhx843 Max taper blank when using the pac bay minima guides? Are these the right guides to use on a heavy rod? 7' medium heavy blank, spinning

These guides are just fine to use on that rod.

With a spinning rod, all of the guides are below the blank and are really not very subject to bending.

Good luck

They will work great. Last week I caught a 45" striped bass in current with braid line using the single foot TiBronze guides. My scale only goes to 30# but it slammed down so I'm assuming it weighed 35-40#. The guides held up perfectly. No etching at all. I went to catch a half dozen more 10-15# bass and no problems. Great quality for the price. Good luck. MH

The blank I used for that rod is a lamiglas 7'3" XL-875.
