Are you using left handed reels ? Right handed clockwise, left handed counter clockwise ? No difference ?

FYI just checked both my spiral wrapped rods, one is a custom and the other is factory and both are counter clockwise wrapped.

Guides roll in the direction of the hand your holding the rod in .
Holding in your left hand they roll to the left looking forward .
Holding in right hand they roll right looking forward .
It’s supposed to oppose the down ward pressure of the act of reeling
