Mr. Crappie - WM rods?
I stopped to eyeball the Wally Marshall rods @ BPS this past weekend. Nice rods, but I have a question. Why so many line guides? This caught my attention as soon as I had a 12' in my hand. I'm unsure as to the purpose of the extra amount as compared to any other 12' rod. I wish I could narrow down to the exact model I had in my hands, but the memory stick is pretty full.

i think another reason for a lot of guides is the more guides on a rod the more the stress on rod is spread out. this would be important on the longer rods that have thinner tips .
