Short answer- Not if done correctly.
But I do have to ask, why would you spiral wrap a light med hvy (not sure what that is BTW) crankbait rod?

The line has no idea what side of the rod it's on. Unless you employ some type of very sharp-short revolver rod spiral wrap, casting distance will suffer any practical impairment.

In most cases, any casting rod will benefit from being spiral wrapped. All my crankbait rods, regardless of power, are spiral wrapped. I wouldn't do them any other way.

Did you mean to say "....casting distance will NOT suffer any practical impairment..."?

Yes, Thanks for clearing up my post. Didn't mean to give anyone the wrong idea.
