Spinners don't twist , regardless of where the spine is because the load is on the bottom of the rod. Sometime the spine will make a conventional torque but mainly its because the guides are on top and want to be on the bottom while under load as seawolf said.

Spiral wrapped rods do relieve fatigue on the fisherman. Its a great idea for rods that see heavy loads like boat rods with conventional reels. The guides can be spiraled from the top to the bottom of the blank in 3 or 4 steps like every 45 degrees or every 60 degrees. You want the last 4 or so near the tip dead on the bottom of the blank opposite the reel.

Some have said spirals on a long casting rod will cut distance , some say no. I think it depends on exactly how its built.
