Has any one used a spiral wrap on a heavy action salt water - roller tipped rod?
If so, what are the results? Take care Roger Re: Spiral wrap with ruller guide tip??

We've used this kind of tip of a lot of heavy SW rods and used properly, it works as it should.
Now, we've never done one on a spiral rod but I don't see where it wouldn't work just as it would on a "standard" rod. Once the line starts its run down the shaft to the tip the rod doesn't know that the line came off the reel "upside down". John Mantele, who invented the @#$%& roller guide, just reminded me that his @#$%& guide would be the best for this. I stand corrected, and Mark Griffin already caught it in his post below. Sorry.

Works like a charm, but you need to use the All American @#$%& roller top that's designed to work "upside down" with the roller hung below the blank.. Mark Griffin [] C&M Custom Tackle San Dimas, California Re: Spiral wrap with ruller guide tip??

Mark,
That was the information that I was looking for. I suspected that one needed a special roller guide to work correctly upside down for a spiral wrap rod. Thanks again. Roger Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
