Spining a rod after it is wrapped is not as easy as before. With the seat and guides on , slight pressure like you would use on an unwrapped rod may not show the true spine. However , when loaded well , as it would be fighting a fish , you'll feel the twist if its off. So anyway , my point is that if you are checking a factory rod to see if its buildright relative to the spine , give it a good bend and see where it settles . It may be different than if you just slightly flex it. Al Goldberg talked about it and I think he used terms like true spine and effective spine or apparent spine?
