I do wonder what the stress on the sprial wrap will do to the actual wrap and finish with a real big fish on
Whatever it does - it will not have the blank twisting and torqueing the way a regular guides on top rod does. Think about it, you look at the tip, the guides are turning left and right - that has to take a lot away from the blank. With the guides spiral wrapped, the blank stays put, the spine (which is way overrated imo) stays on top, as opposed to the spine being on top of half the rod, and on the side out towards the tip.

T Lap - glad to hear no loss of distance, that's what happens when the rod is set up properly. I've seen some soiral wrapped rods, and geez, you'd wonder wtf the guy was thinking when the rod was built.
