Can a rod have too many guides? I just bought my first ever St. Croix Legend Tournament rod
. It's 7"1' and has 12, yes 12 guides. As you can see, there's 4 in the last 6 inches of the rod. The last one before the tip is 1.5" from end of tip. I have no plans to ever sell, so I don't mind removing some if needed. Thoughts?
