you're missing the whole point of what i said. you can wrap more revolutions of a thinner thread than a thicker thread on a blank and guide. this gives you a tighter wrap, less tunneling, less movement of the guide foot, and a stronger bond. sure, the larger you go in size thread the stronger the thread itself is, but you have less thread revolutions on the guide foot and a bulkier build. i'm not saying i would use size a on a offshore rod, but i'm not saying it wouldn't work either.
blanks of 25 years ago had a lot less modulus and could handle the ability to torque, but it still was not good for the blank. today's higher modulus blanks can wear down over time from constant torquing. this could lead to rod failure. and, a rod that torques is a rod that is not acting a a proper level in the fisherman's hands. thus, the fisherman has additional pressure to compensate for.
