Ok I'm finally getting serious about building my first spiral wrap. My question is what size guides do you recomend? It will be a 7' med action rod using a Curado 200 reel with 20# mono. Also I know that low frame guides are the norm for the transition guides but what about the ones on the 180? Do you still use low frames or should I go with high frame spinning guides? Thanks for the help. Paul
