buzzed bait Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Bought this from another guy in absolutely mint condition and I’ve only used it twice since then and has sat in the rod cover otherwise. It’s a beauty, but it’s a little heavier than I’d like. It is as mint as you’ll find, can’t find a thing wrong with it. 8’ XH Parabolic Spiral Left Includes LDC rod cover PayPal only, lower 48 only and would only consider a partial trade for a LDC Workshop White Label 8’ Heavy and/or BGC Wake Gill (no other trades). Will ship bubble wrapped in a PVC tube, insured. PM me if interested. $400 TYD twil93 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

168 Rookie Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Dumb rookie question: on the third pic down, left side, it looks like the first (bottom) guide is straight up, then the next guide is angled a little to the right of that. I've noticed that on a few of the rod pics, but not all of them--is that a camera angle trick, or are the guides really offset like that?? If so, what's the purpose? Thanks for helping a noob out.

Thanks for helping a noob out. yep, the rod is spiral wrapped to the right side. And my understanding is that it helps reduce friction when casting, correct if im wrong please. 168 Rookie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VAngler Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 No, the point of a spiral wrap is to reduce the effect caused by the weight of the reel and the pressure of the line on the guides all pulling down and wanting to twist the rod in your hands. When you hold a spinning rod everything settles how it should, but with a casting rod everything wants to flip over on you. Spiral wrap helps to reduce this effect. But it's only appreciable when you're fighting a fish...so you must catch fish to notice it JoshPerkins802, cascadekiller and 168 Rookie 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
168 Rookie Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Hmm, that's interesting. I've caught plenty of fish, but never noticed the feel of the rod wanting to spin in my hand (though I didn't know that was even a thing, so I've never paid attention to it). Something for me to pay attention to in the future. Man, I've been at this for 30 years and there's still so much about this fishing thing I have no idea of... cascadekiller, JoshPerkins802 and VAngler 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SumoNinja Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 While we're at it, is direction of the spiral defendant on if a person is right retrieve or left retrieve. Or does it not matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
