Agreed, your only choice is the All American "N" eptune guides both Roger & Spencer suggested. Re: Spiral wrap question

I cannot remember which poster offered this observation on 'sprial wraps'. It has was probably a decade, or so, ago. I was building my first such rod, and someone advised that you could easily go from 0 to 180 with no transition guide whatsoever, and performance would be just about the same as if you used one, or more, transition guides. It was noted that if you used braided line, you might wear a groove in your blank, but casting would be unaffected. To this day, I take to heart that message. I still use one transition guide (at 90 degrees, on the same side as the reel handle), and I off-set the first guide just enough so the tangent of the ring will transect the axis of the blank, but I never entertain the thought of adding more guides. From ghoulies and ghosties, and long leggedy beasties, and things that go bump in the night, Good Lord deliver us! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
