i am thinking about building a rainshadow 1025 casting rod and i was wondering if anyone had and ideas as to how many guides to put on one of these. My loomis gl3 1024 uses 8 plus a tip, but it touches the blank all over the place when it flexes. this hasn't bothered me before, but the more i have been reading I am starting to think this is a no no for custom rods. will the rod perform better with more guides or will the increase in weight make me regret adding the extra guides

I was thinking about going 10, 8, 7, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, tip
