Wonderful explanation and you made it look painless!! I will definitely give it a try on my next rod. Are you able to please provide steps to create a Chevron wrap?

[@fdxcustomrods]

Glad you enjoyed the video. I haven't done a chevron wrap in a long time. I'll put it on the list.

[@M3hammerdown]

Can you review the different thread coatings and epoxy, and when/ why to choose them? Thanks!

[@fdxcustomrods]

I'll put it on the list.

[@LunkerFishing]

Nice job! I do not have a preference on what you do next.

[@fdxcustomrods]

Thanks you Sir!

[@s614h]

Thanks for taking the time to make these videos, I'm just learning and practicing on my old rod now. What is the best way to strip old guides off?

[@s614h]

Sorry I just saw your rehab video.

[@fdxcustomrods]

No worries. I'm glad it helped!

[@iwantosavemoney]

This is so cool sir am learning so much I have not not even bought my rod making kit yet.
Sir are you using a foot pedal?

[@fdxcustomrods]

Yes, I'm using a power Wrapper with a foot pedal. Glad you found us.

[@M3hammerdown]

Do the pink and blue threads stretching across the underwrap leave a visible bump or can it be burnished out?

[@fdxcustomrods]

You can burnish most of it out.

[@M3hammerdown]

@fdxcustomrods great. Thanks for the feedback!

[@josephwilamoski4309]

Hey man I'm 33 years old ive been salmon and steelhead fishing my whole life. I have been wanting to build my own rods the last 10 years lol can I ask where you got your station from every one is telling me to get the kit from mudhole and when I checked it out it wasn't as expensive as I thought it i figured I could find something a little better and was just curious what you have and what other websites have stations or what you call the thread table and what its attached to? Any help would be greatly appreciated

This video explains my power wrappers. The thread carriage comes with the wrappers, or you can buy them separately. Mudhole is the best source for these types of tools. There are more expensive ones out there but not necessarily better ones.

[@TomWood-bx7xn]

What size thread is best for underwraps?

[@fdxcustomrods]

I don't think it matters. Especially if you are putting a thin coat of epoxy on before the over wrap

[@JenniferCook-ij3hi]

So should the main color be the same width on both sides of center with measurements mine is shorter on one side than the other

[@fdxcustomrods]

That depends on a few things. How you want it to look when you are done is the main consideration. The length of the guide feet and where the ring is located between them. I try to make it look symmetrical if I can. Thanks for watching !

[@JeramyMinor]

What tool is that that you are using?

[@fdxcustomrods]

It is a pick from this set
