Another way to demo spiral wrap

I have a telescoping Cabela 6' casting rod. The guides are removable and can be rotated any way I like. I found this a great way to test for myself the advantages of spiral wrapped casting rods... Bob.

Excellent tip Robert !
I have thought of adding a guide at the 0 degree point opposite the 180 degree guide of a two piece bumper wrapped rod.
That way one could string it both ways just by turning the tip section either up or down! An easy way to show the attributes
of both configurations on the exact same blank!
