30-40# live bait/surface iron spinner

I am building an 8' graphite composite spinner for a friend and I have been looking at the kw guides. I have the reel and plugged it into the gps for the kw guides. My friend plans on running 30 pound flouro to 65# braid. Since I do not use or own any spinners I just wanted to run it by you guys for a guide train. I was thinking of a 40, 25, 16, 12, 10 to the tip of the kw alconite guides. Thanks for any input.

Patrick,
Your post is like many others here, and it's understandable being new, you have all the information in front of you and passed none of it to us in the post. If you've run the program and it said these are the guides necessary for the reel being used, your done, without the info you put into the program we can't be much help from personal experience.
