How many guides should a rod have?
On lighter rods with small reels, you will likely need 2 guides in-between the reel and the choker guide. On medium rods with medium sized reels, you'll need about 3 guides in-between the reel and the choker. On the heaviest rods, you may use up to 4 guides between the reel and the choker.
