I am looking at a Daiwa rod (11ft3in7-9wt) from a guy out of the UK right now. What is the deal with the guides on some of these? They appear to be the style that would be used on a spinning rod. What are the pro's and con's of his style?

Either or, doesn't really bother me if its functional with a fly line, or shooting head.

the ring guides will be more susceptible to icing over the snakes. just one thing to consider. sounds like an interesting rod. SG
