I have been spiral wrapping 50lb 6'6" tuna rods with turbo guides (Seeker/Calstar 665, 670). I used the bumper-guide spiral technique and really like the way they perform. I still load the rod and determine guide position the same as I would for a conventional casting rod, then position all but the first two guides on the bottom of the blank. I am not concerned with the weight of an extra guide on these rods.

No need for a gimbal fishing albies with the spiral wrap.
