there are many options and opinions on methods for sprial wrapping a rod. generally, different builders prefer different methods. there is not general rule for spacing as the rod dictates the spacing. 0, 60, 120, 180 is a common spiral. the "bumper" method has one at about 0, 90 (but close to the blank and a small guide size), and 180. you really need to do a stress test to see where the rod wants the guides to be. good luck.
