Conventional guides are on the opposite side from Spinning guides. You want the rod to load easier when casting, but have more backbone when fighting fish. These two jobs are done by the rod flexing in opposite directions. What makes the opposite guide placement necessary is that spinning reels hang below the blank, while conventional reels sit on top.
Friction between line and blank causes more loss of distance than does contact between line and guides.
