Location of guides on a graphite spinning rod

[helm]

I spoke with a custom rod builder who said he puts guides for graphite spinning rods on the same side of the blank as a baitcasting rod. My understanding is when a fish puts a load on a graphite rod the spine always wants to go to the top so the guides on a baitcaster would be on the spine but wouldn't a graphite spinning rod need to have the guides built on the opposite side of the spine? Can anyone tell me why you would build a graphite spinning rod with the guides on the same side as a baitcaster?
Thanks

The spine doesn't have anything to do with the twisting when load is applied the spinning rod is the one that is more stable and doesn't twist. On a baitcaster the guides on top try to turn to the bottom when a heavy load is applied, it is actually the line pulling the guides around. If you tape a set of guides on a rod and run the line through them and pull down on the line flexing the rod watch what happens, now do it with a spinning rod and compare. The guides on top will either spin to the bottom or tear the tape trying to go there, the spinning guides will stay where they were placed. A lot is made of the spine on a rod some build on it some 180 degrees from it and many don't even worry about it they build with the straighest axis of the rod so when you hold the rod you don't see a slight bend to the left or right, as the spine rarely matches the straighest axis.

See the thread on here about Acid/Spiral wraps this is how you counter act the guides on top twist.
