Does your's have the line guides twisted around it..??? I have an original Texas Sidewinder made by Kit Harrison but it has the line guides in the "normal" position. It was my first bait casting rod years ago...:)
started on the west coast several years ago called spiral or acid wrap, to address casting / rail rods turning under pressure from large fish on tuna charter boats I stand corrected after more research, I first experienced the rods in CA spiral acid Roberts
