Herefishy,
That was Leo (Dleo) who answered the question and I believe you are correct in your assumption that with the angle of the line from the reel, there should be no issues getting it snagged when skipping the first snake guide.

Leo,
the 6' 6" "banty" will cast 50 to 60 feet if you need it.
I wish I can make it to one of these fish-ins to meet up with you to try out your quiver...one day.
