Yeh, seems like they have taken too much acid before wrapping :D

I'm rebuilding a 1990's fibreglass baitcast rod - just spaced out the guides, might Zig zag them...

My first spiral wrapped rod was a Major Craft N-One BF, which has served me very well and made me prefer spiral wrapped rods. Since then, I have had 3 customs rods build with a spiral wrap.
However, I still fish standard wrapped rods.
