Almost Free Rod Wrapping Jig
Вставка

- This is a simple, inexpensive way to build a wrapping jig for those who want to try building their own fishing rod but aren't ready to invest $100 to $1500 on a commercial jig. All in, this jig cost me $3.25 Canadian, plus tax.
This is part of a rod building course put on by the Thames River Anglers Association (TRAA ), London, Ontario, Canada. If you would like a pdf file of this project, please contact us through the TRAA website:

From a DIY lure guy to you, Good Sir..BRAVO!!!!!!
Thanks for saving me a lot of time and money!
Brilliant!
This is my rod wrapping station, except I used a narrower box and cut it about 10 inches high and left the front attached so that it keeps the box more sturdy. The front is cut to about 2 1/2 inches tall. I use boxes about 18 inches long by 12 high by no more’n 12 inches wide. Cut your notches and you’re done except for punching a hole under each notch so that I can stick them hair bands through that my wife gives me with the little balls on 1 end of them. If I ain’t got none I make hooks out of a couple of paper clips as I need them, and just poke em through the box where I need em. Tensioner? Run the thread under the box, back to front. 1 down fall though, box tends to get cluttered because it holds so Dadgum many wrapping tools and supplies.
Nonickname: That's the great thing about making it yourself - you can design it for how you like to use it. I really like your idea about leaving the front at 2.5" high; thanks for sharing your ideas!
So smart bro... Thanks
Hendra: Thanks - it's what I used for my first 3 rod builds. Good luck!
