guide traine for 30lb line class spinning rod

I am looking for guide suggestions for a 30lb 7'6'' spinning rod using a stradic 5000 reel.it will be used for Snook fishing around bridges and docks in Florida.

I like the idea of using Fuji K guide guides but am open to other guide frames and other brand suggestions as well.

My thought is to use double foot cckwags30, 16, and 8 for the stripper and reduction guides and finish it off with 6 ccktag 8s.

I would prefer to use single foot guides but I am not sure they are a good choice for a this rods intended use. I welcome the boards comments.

I'd rather be catching!

I think the KW16 and KW 8 are too low to use in the reduction train. I would use KW30, KL20 and KL12 for the reduction train, followed by KT8 runners. The single foot KL guides will be just fine, and the KL 20 and KL12, are higher than their KW counterparts. if you wanted to go all single foot guides could use the KL30 as the stripper.
