Builders are still using the spiral because it's a sound concept. It still remains a tough sell to many fishermen, however. Spinning rod systems have evolved quite a bit in the last two decades, spurred on by the Fuji Concept Guide idea. Many variations exist nowadays but all stick to the general idea which produces better line control and longer casts, as well as removing weight from the upper half of the rod. Like the spiral wrap, it produces real benefits.
