spiral wrapping a casting rod

[Billy 40]

Best tip - go test cast it and figure it out yourself. That's the best thing you can do. Try it offset, try it right on top, try 2, 3, 5 trasnition guides. You'll be surprised how quickly you can become an expert on the subject by test casting & experimenting yourself.

I don't mean to brush you off, I never wrapped a spiral surf rod, so I don't have any answers. I can guess you an answer though - try size 20-12-10 transition and 10's all the way out to the tip. If you plan on using a 12 ring tip, use a 20 and all 12's. The 20-16 will make the line stick out at an angle on the transition, something I don't like.
