You shouldnt see much problem until you have put many years on the rod. Of course the braided lines will be harder on the guides than fused lines like fireline. But if you really want to protect your investment, you can forget your coated fugi's and get silicone carbide guides. They will hold up to the nsatiest braids no problem.
