FWW - I don't know which spiral wrapped rods you've casted, but if you set the rod up properly the line will not get slown down. At least on a shorter rod this is true, but I'm almost positive a long rod set up properly the rod will cast just fine.

If the line forms a relatively straight line from the spool to the tip, it will cast just fine. After all the line can't tell if it's above or below the blank, but it can tell if it's straight = shoots right through.

TLap - Don't be deterred until you've given it a good test casting trying different set ups until you find one that works well.... or that the spiral method sucks in the surf for you.
