O_clarki, an out of the box solution, assuming the centerpin rod used by Gil is what you’re after is to talk to a rod builder:
quickest/cheapest solution would be to have them strip off the first two guides and replace w/ spinning rod guides. This is pretty simple to do and something rod builders routinely do as modern guide often have the ceramic insert crack or pop out.
Second solution is that they could find you the exact, or very similar, blank and build custom as a spinning, rather than a centerpin rod, that way not only would the guides be proper, so would the handles. Bonus is you could choose the quality of all the components, custom colour wraps, etc.
Just a couple options as I agree with you, using a rod for a significantly different type of reel and casting doesn’t come w/o trade-offs.
Cheers!
