When you are doing this spiral wrap have you noticed a torque difference when spiraling to the left Vs spiraling to the right?I have seen this done both ways and when I asked about it all I have been able to get is that they were wrapped for which side or the boat they were going to be trolled on.I have wondered why with the line wrapping around the blank it doesnt twist to the side of the spiral.Has anyone tried offsetting the first guide in the other direction as in Rick Forhans revolver style to compare it to Mr O*Quinns metheod to see which actually works better on a longer surf rod.I have seen this done on boat rods and was thinking about trying one but no one seems to have figured out what is the best style for it in 100 years.
