It depends on who built it. I like having the guide feet on the spine on both types of rods. Most of my rods have been built by two people---Bobby Tutorello at Causeway, and Mike Thomas at M&Ds, and both of them put both conventonals and spinning guides on the spine without my asking.

The rods I have that have guides on the opposite side were built by Donna Lilker at Donart and Dave Hammock at Murats.
