Coach, Dudley,

The guides and wraps are not the weakest link.

If you use a Forhan Locking wrap (not that hard, [url=http://www.rodbuilding.org/library/forhan.html:3ecd0]http://www.rodbuilding.org/library/forhan.html[/url:3ecd0] )
your rod will break before the guide pulls out. And hopfully your line breaks before that happens.

Most salt water fly rod builders I've heard from will say that single foot ceramics ARE the best thing to be using for this application.
