17: Spiral Wrapped Rods<br />
In this article let’s go into something<br />
out of the ordinary. Let us<br />
look at something that has baffled<br />
some people, got some groups into<br />
heated debates, got some people<br />
confused, and some love them. Let<br />
us take a look at spiral wrapped<br />
rods where guides do not follow<br />
conventional placement thus requires<br />
some unconventional thinking.<br />
What Is It?<br />
Spiral wrapped rods are conventional<br />
and / or baitcasting type<br />
rods with its guides placed somewhat<br />
like a spiral staircase towards<br />
a 180 degree angle. With the reel<br />
sitting above the rod (rod placed<br />
horizontal), the line is led towards<br />
the bottom via spirally affixed<br />
guides.
