If you put the first guide at 0 or at a negative angle as I suggested , then your hand on the foregrip should be under the line just like it would be if it were not a spiral wrap. My suggestion to go slightly negative with guide one is so the inside edge of the first guide is aligned with the center of the reel. This is nbeeded because whatever side you spiral to , the second guide will cause the line to always ride the edge of the first guide , not back and forth across the center of the guide like a normal set up.

Now many use levelwinds too and that is the case where I think offsetting the first guide a little negative is more important. If yopu are steering the line with your thumb you can keep it even but you better pay attention cause ven then it will want to stack up on the reel on the side you spiral towards.

lastly , I prefer to spiral away from the reel crank.
