Jim Kastorff Registered: March 2005 Location: San Diego Posts: 127	Hope I don't get busted for posting a pic of this magazine cover, Kayak Magazine, but the shot really shows the reason to acid or spiral wrap rods, check out the twisting of the guides-hope it shows up in the pic, I'm hanging a copy in my workshop to show folks who question acidwrapping, anybody want a copy, email me. If nothing else, its good advertising for the magazine.

Kind of leads me to beleive that this is what caused a couple of heavy jigging composite rods I built to "delaminate"...holy twist! (of course someone will think that the guides aren't close enough to the blank, the spine wasn't aligned proper, or some such arguement ) Looks to me that the line is just plain old wants to be under the rod...by any means necessary. Physics.
