idbass Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 I am looking at building a swimbait rod over Christmas Break and am trying to decide whether or not to spiral wrap it. I was wondering what your opinions were on it and whether or not it would be worth doing. I am planning on building off of a Phenix M1 MX-UR80H blank and using it mostly for throwing Hudds and similarly sized baits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Power Swimbaits Posted November 15, 2013 Report Share Posted November 15, 2013 Just my personal preference is on baits fished with the rod tip up more and where I swing up more on the hookset and moving the bait I like a spiral wrap. If I fish it with the rod tip down more I like the standard way guides are on most rods because I tend to snap the rod downward a lot and set and load the rod down to the side. When I had my first custom rods built I had the rod builder talk me out of the spiral wrap on those types of rods and I am glad he did now that I have fished them that way and have both styles. But my favorite rod is still a spiral wrapped rod and If I had to go with just one I would take the spiral wrap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
