Spiral guides are baitcaster guides that start with strippers pointing upwards as usual and end up with runners and tip pointing downwards like spinning guides.

I was asking about the particular type guides he plans to use. You can spiral wrap with most any type guide. Snake guides might reduce weight by a tiny bit but on that type rod it may not be the best choice.

Ohhhhh I see, my bad. Neither have I seen a spiral guide system made of snakies. Maybe OP was talking about all-purpose single foot runners? They are often called fly guides.

Minima F guides would work as a light option. Ceramic single foot fly guides would also be fine but a little heavier. The single foot wire fly guides would be the lightest option but I think would be the hardest on your line.
