Thank you so much for sharing. Through your video I found that I was threading my thread through the eyelids to the rod for wrapping incorrectly thank you so much for being direct and straight to the point without a lot of Chit Chat

[@reelbluecustomrods]

You are welcome Ralph, and I am glad you found the video useful. Thank you for watching.

Thank you. 25 year AF veteran here. I am a little lost on how to us the slider

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Hey Doug, as you move down the wrap you can adjust the slider in the direction of your wrap instead of moving rhetorically while wrapper. I will make point to demonstrate what I’m takin g about during tomorrow’s Live Stream at 4:00 pm PST. Hope to see you there.

Right on time John, I have been looking for a video as such. I am building a wrapper out of PVC. Keep up the great work!

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Glad to hear it Jason, and let me know how it goes. Interested in seeing what you come up with.

[@lovinhouse374]

I have the same hand wrapper. I replaced the black spool tension knobs with wing nuts (like your setup) and it is much better 👍🏻

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Glad to hear it, and that you like the video as well. Thank you for watching.

Thank you

Very welcome Buck, and thanks for watching.

The only option that I did to mine was I traded out the springs for magnets and really like the precision tension I get.

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Great decision Chuck, and thank you for watching and commenting.

[@ShorrockPaul]

How did you change springs to magnets

[@ramoutdoors6415]

Great explanation man! I do mine the same way? Thumbs up!

Thank you Richard, and I appreciate the positive feedback. Tight lines.

[@thekirbster1]

This the one I use but I have 2 pole stands connected on the sides

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Awesome and thank you for watching and commenting.

[@peterworthen-4893]

How do you stop and start the thread?

[@reelbluecustomrods]

By wrapping the rod, but are you asking how to start the wrap on the blank?

[@dorflonnigan4413]

how much tension do you use?

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Just depends on what I am doing. I do however tend to use a little more than needed sometimes.

[@johnsivyer4570]

Just brought one not used it yet

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Let me know how it goes.

[@pasqualemancini9986]

Quanto costa? Grazie

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Pasquale, it depends on what type you get, but they start around $40.00 or so. Sorry for the late response and thank you for watching and commenting.

[@808livin.8]

I threw mines away..

[@reelbluecustomrods]

What wrapper are you using now?
