torqing is a lot more visable on a lighter casting rod. a perfect example is the rod shown on the gloomis website logo. as a blank gets more powerful in line class, the torqing is less visable, but still occurs within the blank. the spine of a blank actually changes as you go up a blank because of the manner they are built. you will not see torqing unless you have guides on a blank, line thru the guides, wrapped "conventionally", and under stress.
why would you wrap a rod w/ ee or e thread? just beaause it's thicker does't mean it stronger. if i wrapped someone in 1/2" rope, they would still be able to move slightly. if i wrapped them in size a or c thread, they would hardly be able to move because there is more thread on them.
goose, no it will not help you catch more fish. but, it will extend the life of a blank if properly built.
