the twisted duce rod is a spiral rod, the reason the guides are directed to the underside of the rod is because when your line pulls down on a regular rod the line causes the top guides to turn down while the part of the rod down by the handle is still right side up, this is one major reason for rods breaking when hooking fish or stumps! also with the guides on the opposite side of the rod the line rest on guides instead of the rod which lessens stress on rod. I have 3 custom spiral rods made, I haven't bought a duce rod yet, but I recommend spiral over regular rods any day especially if you want micro guides!
