Hi, I really enjoyed the video, I wanted to ask if it is possible to calculate the length of the fade wrap in advance and adjust it to the section that needs to be done on the fishing rod ? Thanks in advance
Ruth Mechling, Thank you! I am working on making more videos. This one is an older version of what I used to do. I need to make a new one with the new way of how I do the fades. Stay tuned!
Hc custom fishing rods, my pleasure brudah! I’m glad it is helpful for you. For longer fades I do it different. I need to make a video of that as well. Just been busy.
I love the technic.. I feel you can use a double sided tape to hold the ends far on the blank so u don't have to unwrap it each time. Just a suggestion.
The time it takes to unravel the thread could easily be used to make some clips that will hold spools of thread on the blank whilst the other thread is being used......
For sure. This was the first way I learned how to do this. I have since retired that way and found a much better way. I just haven’t had time to record a video of the technique. My apologies.
Aimo Kurkela, yes, you can use cp and any rod winding thread for this application. As far as hiding the tag end, I did that at the end with the pull through. I did have a knot in the thread and I was not able to release the knot so I just kept videoing. I do not do fades this way anymore. That was just the first way I learned. I will do another video soon on how to do this an easier way.
HM Custom Threads thanks for quick feedback! My idea was that the non-color protected thread (here the orange one) would turn translucent when it’s lacquered. So that only one of the threads (black one) would show. How ever then the transition phases (black under orange) would probably show through, so maybe its not a good idea after all...
Aimo Kurkela, you are welcome. With this method the black would only show through on the dirty side. I think this would be a cool idea to test and see if you like it.
All your videos are great. I’ve learned to do awesome wraps but more importantly I’ve learned to do them professionally.
Thank you for your knowledge!
Thank you! So sorry for the LATE response.
Thanks man. I going to do this on my next build!
Awesome! Please send me some pics when you are finished to hmcustomthreads@gmail.com
I am a fan, looking forward to more videos.
Thank you! I am trying to make more time to create more content.

Very cool technique. Tnx for sharing!!!
Thankful Life, thanks for the kind words. My pleasure.
Awesome video would love to learn more off of you really good detail

@@hmcustomthreads2460 ok cant wait to watch it
Its easier if you just put a piece of tape over threads!
thank you Hector ,now i got the idea...
Raul Delanuez, my pleasure brother.
THANK YOU, VERY NICE WORK !!!
You are welcome and thank you!
Thank you for sharing, Please do more tutorials.
Dorf Lonnigan You are welcome. I will.
Thank you, I have just started about 6 months ago, and am trying to learn.
Mahalo for sharing i used to do it a different way.your way looks easier.

That is an excellent suggestion. For whatever reason, I have never thought of that. Thank you!
Just a suggestion. Maybe use bobbins for the thread so its easier to manage? Technique is right on. Thank You
G B Custom Rods, thanks! I will definitely consider that. Lol! For the smaller fades it’s not too bad but the larger ones, most certainly.
👍👍👍👍👍
Nice.how do u make a long fade.dont u hate that not especially when weaving a name.

@@hmcustomthreads2460 make a new video of the improved way!
😃👍👍👍👍
How do you estimate how long to allow for your working lengths of thread?
John Rivera, when I used to do it this way, I would usually allow about 18 inches to play it safe on a 10:1 ratio. Then you can go up from there.
Do you sell thread?
Is it possible to use cp and standard thread for this? If so, how to hide the cp thread tag end?
Aimo Kurkela, yes, you can use cp and any rod winding thread for this application.
As far as hiding the tag end, I did that at the end with the pull through. I did have a knot in the thread and I was not able to release the knot so I just kept videoing. I do not do fades this way anymore. That was just the first way I learned. I will do another video soon on how to do this an easier way.

@@hmcustomthreads2460 I would like to see the easier way of this method if posible
Matthew Pikaart, I am working on putting that video together.
easier to tag end without the bead.
Easier to pull with the bead though
