First Spiral wrap

I am working on my first spiral wrap and am hoping that some of the more experienced builders could give me some tips on what to watch out for as far as common mistakes. The blank is a Rainshadow BP1025. I am using roughly a forhan revolver wrap.
Thanks
John

Hi John, My advise to you would be first if it's for you and your right handed your guides should follow left 0 to 180dg, left handed to fall right, I also built my first spiral and love the living c____ out of it. Most guys on Padre coast line never seen anything like this til I took mine, unfortunately haven't seen how it fights yet since I'm using it for Bull Drums and shark. I'll try to post a pic soon. 1pc 9' 1" butt w/18/64ths tip. Good luck and looking forward to see your pic on the board.

Rod, Reels and 18 wheels.

If you'll just follow Rich's instructions, you should be just fine. It's quite simple and works well.
