The spline is not always visible though and other factors come into play when determining the fishability of a rod. Things like curves in the blank(often called a crook, as in shepard's) and different places where the compound taper will impact the balance of a rod - just like Saltheart says... If you've ever had a big fish loading up your rod and you feel the rod jumpy and you're reel trying to twist on you, good chance it's spined wrong...
