I think the spine is most important when fighting the fish, since the spine always wants to rotate opposite the applied load , it should be on the guide side for a conventional and opposite the guide side for a spinner. I think its not too important on a spinner but very importatnt on a conventional. I never spine a rod for casting performance , always for fish fighting. Now , I'm just getting into flyrods so I may change my mind about that for flyrods but for normal rods , I always spine to minimize twist while fighting a fish.
Yes , spiral wrapping is a great idea for boat rods , but I'm not sure its that good for long surfcasting rods.
