Okuma Copper/Leadcore rod for Wire

[Eyecatcher]

I stopped in the bait shop the other day to bs about some new wire rods.  The lady behind the counter was telling me I could use the Okuma GLS Copper/Leadcore rods with the stainless guides for wire.  Is that true?  Would I still need a Twilly tip?

eagle claw makes a good dipsey rod that you can use with wire.  I always feel better putting on twill tip. check on fishusa they have some good stuff.
