    will depend on the line weight of the rod. For line weight 4 or under, I would use a single foot. For heavier rods a snake guide pleases my eyes better. Depending on your wrappings and coats of the wraps, one foot guides will save you a little weight on the tip section of the rod. More wrappings means more coat and more weight. In light weight rods this difference of weight usually makes a difference and you can feel it (specially in medium action rods, fast rods might be different). In heavier rods is very hard to notice any difference in the weight at the tip section. Mostly because the whole rod is heavier and it is difficult to detect any small difference weight due to the wraps.
    If you decide to go with the one foot guides, make sure to wrap ones or twice in front of the foot to anchor it. This prevent the foot to come lose when fishing.
