Spiral Wrapped Rods Debunked
Okay...I hope my jpegs are of high enough quality to be read, and that I got all of the arrows pointing the way I intended, and also that you take the time to try and really understand them before getting defensive (if you are a fan of spiral wrapped rods.)
My contention is that, while spiral wrapped rods do indeed have a couple of benefits, like reduced strain on the rod tip, and not having your rod flip over in a rod holder, the much touted claim of "reduced wrist fatigue" is BUNK!! The following drawings I threw together should help explain my points. If you have any constructive comments to add, please feel free. (Unprovable comments such as "my grandad used one for forty years, and he said it helped", or "nofear, you're a moron" will be summarily ignored. ) If you have trouble reading them (I made them fairly small), use CTRL + your mousewheel or your web-browsers zoom function. Enjoy.
