What is a spiral wrap?
The spiral wrap is a term referring to a guide placement system on all of our bait casting rods. The main purpose of the spiral wrap is to completely eliminate the problem of rods twisting when the rod is bent and all of the guides are placed in a straight line on the top of the rod blank. The spiral wrap places the guides in a spiral around the blank, so that when the line comes off of the rod, it is coming off of the bottom of the blank, just like a spinning rod does. Using this system, the fishing line can not rub against the rod blank at any point, reducing strain on the line and the rod, line slap against the blank is eliminated and allows longer casts, and stress on the rod blank is greatly reduced, decreasing the chances of breakage. The biggest single thing a spiral wrap does for a fishing rod is eliminate twisting and turning of a rod blank.
