I am looking for a good photo showing the guides as they wrap around the rod. I am not going to publish it. I just want to be able to email the photo while I am explaining the theory in the text message. I remember seeing some nice pics several years ago on some photo pages but i think it was even before this site was up and running. I tried search this photo site but no luck.

Thanks Buzz

If you look on the photo page and select guide wraps and then search just using the word 'spiral', there appears to be a few good pictures looking down the rod and seeing the guides wrap around it.

The cover of RodMaker Volume 7 #4 shows a spiral with roller guides, AA rollers. Good angle shot, Jim Racela captured it.

Here's one holding the rod upside down (I wanted to show the offset on my first 180 guide)

Buzz,

I have photos of four different spirals types on the same blanks with reels mounted and the rods "loaded". Problem is they're on a computer that's in the shop and I probably won't get back until some time next week. If that works with your time frame, I'll be happy to forward them once I get the system back.
