I have found that with some blanks , you got to go almost frictionless by putting the butt on the rod wrapper rollers. Then spine as usual. I have also found that with some blanks , you spine them , then add corktape and a reel seat , and the spine apparently has moved (which is impossible) I found that if i put the blank end on the rollers and pressed very hard to put a good bend in it , it would go to the original spine. Anyway , absolutely no friction helps and also putting a good bend in it helps.
For Seawolf , John said he was getting 2 spines at 180 degrees from eachother. That won't hurt the build but 2 spines at 90 degrees to eachother is bad. mayber try doing it the way I suggest above which is more frictionless and a much heavier bend.
