MB 664 guide recs

Anyone have any recs on guides for an NFC MB664 medium fast? This will be mostly for bass and light saltwater. I've got a leftover set of CRB medium casting guides but they seem a little big for this application. Any thoughts? Thanks. Gary.

While I personally still use a 3 guide reduction train, Norman's suggestion would get my nod. Unless you have to pass a leader to main line connection knot, I wouldn't go above 5's for running guides.
