Reefman should be able to give you a more informed answer, think Nepps aswell, as far as I remember they both have Exage rods
I have looked at the rods so many times, but just can't convince myself that I need ANOTHER fishing rod, and for the life of me I can't remember how big those guides were.
I do remember Reefman saying something quite a while ago about changing the guides on his rod.
If it doesn't bother you then don't change it, if you are using thick leaders that knock against the guides then consider bigger guides.
THAT ROD IS A MACHINE !
