The primary aim of spiral guides is to eliminate sides roll fatigue, whereas line touching the blank are secondary. It's more obvious in big game fishing.
When you are building a spiral guide rod and you spine your blank before setting your tip top do you set it spine up or spine down for conventional reel. For spinning reel?

My grandfather used to make his rods like this in the early 80s.
