I like the spiral idea for shorter , heavier rods but not for long surfcasting rods. I think the cocept fo reducing twist applies to the longer rods but i just think you will lose distance in casting.
The A vs EE thread thing is way out there IMO. Maybe arguing about A vs C but A vs EE is a pretty extreme difference. Anyway , I wrap everything I can with A. It takes time to be able to get a perfect wrap with A. Anyone can make a wrap with D thread look good.
I honestly thing the strongets guide wrap is one with a layer of A theard , a coatong of finish , then a second layer of A thread and finish. I don't think multi layers of thread adds threads unless you can penetrate all the layers with finish. That is one thing I liek about LS Spreme. Its so thin it penetrates nicely. I prefer to use Classic Coat or Amtack overall and use heat after its applied to make it thin and pentrate btter..
Anyway , lots of topics covered here but on the original question , I don't think spiral guides are optimal for long surfcasting rods.
