Why all the different sizes? Once you get to the bottom of the rod, use all the same size. In fact, depending on the type spiral system you choose, you might get by with just the butt guide and then all the same size from there.

I would say a 20 then all 12's or 10's. I like to run the smallest guide possible that will pass my knots freely.
