[@enthusiasticfisherman1229]

Worries seem smaller on the water is a GREAT phrase! Great video man!

[@TheFishingHobby]

Enthusiastic Fisherman thanks!

[@massimoceelticc4770]

very good! ! I think it's the best workstation I've seen on youtube. . . . thank you for sharing with us all. . greetings from Tuscany

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you! I have sold quite a few and people have been very happy with them. Here is the video of the final version of the wrapping jigs that I sell: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWrNaXaggdmJpJI

[@waynenocton]

Man, I subscribed for the mutual benefit of subscribers but I’ve really been enjoying your videos! Your photography skills and craftsmanship are very good! And I’m not even a fisherman lol. Truth is I’ve avoided getting into fishing too much until I get older and hopefully have more time. Thanks for your effort!

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you!

[@PusaStudios]

Wow you are one hell of a talented guy, well done

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you!

[@Thelifeofaflyfisherman]

Very cool my friend congratulations you definitely have a winner there

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thanks Ninja!

[@SouthernCountryLiving]

Very impressive design and detail in the video. I enjoyed it very much.

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you!

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

Thank you senior, your knowledge is very valuable for us

[@BankFishVince]

Vince here to smash the like button! Great information. Thanks for sharing this it’s always good to be able to do it yourself

[@TheFishingHobby]

BankFish Vince, thanks for checking out the video!

[@fishingwithvance]

Really cool video. Prototype looks nice. Good work.

[@allwaterangling6734]

That looks pretty sweet great work!

[@WesLovelace]

Nice!! Lookin' forward 2 the Finished product......

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you! It will look very similar but I need to rework the thread carriage to make it easy to take apart for shipping and storage purposes.

[@robcaponesoutdooradventure8286]

Boy do I have a lot of poles that need eyes , Awsome share friend and happy to support . Peace !

[@TheFishingHobby]

Repair is something I do a lot. I have rebuilt several vintage rods and love using them too!

[@Fischize]

I look forward to seeing these on Ebay. I have been wanting to fix rods that sit in the corner of my garage with missing eyelets (inserts) and/or broken guides. I will definitely buy one . Thanks for the video

[@TheFishingHobby]

Fischize, I should have the first few ready in the next few weeks. Thanks for watching and your interest!

[@vinfish4697]

I’ve made mine from wood but yours has a pro quality to it and very nice wraps Thx for sharing;; video quality is great 👍

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you! My first one was wood too but I really like the plastic for these jigs. It isn't affected by acetone either which a lot of people like to use when building rods.

[@casualcarolinafishing5835]

You come up with the coolest gadgets. 😝😆😂

[@drehasadd]

Looks really nice. 😊 I never thought about how these are made

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thanks!

[@lindawolffkashmir2768]

All these videos contain great tips! I will put some of them to use!

[@Er1c91]

I love the video! It’s almost entrancing watching you wind that pole👍🏻👍🏻🕶

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thanks! Your view was better than mine 😀 I was looking through the legs of a tripod trying to record it!

[@Er1c91]

The Fishing Hobby lol 😂 so is the life of a KZbin creator 😎

[@Angiesfarmlife]

So cool.I like the idea.We have a rod with missing rings.

[@TheFishingHobby]

Yes, I do a lot of repair work like this too. Same as building a rod just less work 😂

[@latinovision]

Works great. hope you sell more than you can produce

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you my friend, me too 👍

[@saneauto]

Great jig idea thanks for sharing

[@DavidVlogz]

Great video will keep supporting you 100% 👍

[@jakejoyride]

I heard about this amazing channel on our FB Creators group. Its good to support another small creator. +1

[@FishingAdventuresHB]

Very cool idea mate. That makes it so easy to work with. Maybe if you had some sort of motorised wheel built into where the rod lies with a foot pedal that can spin the rod would make it go a little faster. Then you would have both hands free to guide the thread onto the rod.

[@TheFishingHobby]

There are so many power wrappers available already I don't know that I could compete in that market. The cost of adding motors and rollers for the rod supports would be high for small scale production like I'm doing. There just aren't a lot of hand wrappers out there that are high quality for hobby rod builders. If you build a lot of large saltwater rods with long under wraps or you are building rods in a production/business venture, a power wrapper would be worth the investment. If you are doing an occasional rod build, intricate weave work or repair work a hand wrapper is the way to go for most people. I have thought about building a power wrapper for myself but I haven't done it because I don't really need one for what I do. I like the idea, but my cost would be pretty high plus there are safety and legal issues that could come up with motorized equipment.

[@MrsLovelyPendragon]

Great video and awesome awesome job on the prototype!!!!

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you!

[@TomyTekOutdoors]

It's really neat to see how it's is done. My favorite rods are custom made. I've always wanted to make one.

[@TheFishingHobby]

It is fun and relaxing to me! Thanks for checking out my channel/video!

[@unrealshots]

Will look forward to the finished product and seeing how much to post to Australia. Sounds like you need to make a series of jigs to make the jig components

[@TheFishingHobby]

Yes jigs were what I'm thinking too. A CNC router would be ideal for doing most of the cuts but I hate to invest that much until I know they will sell well.

[@TheFishingHobby]

I do plan on using international shipping through eBay but eBay sets those rates so I don't know how much that will be.

[@unrealshots]

The Fishing Hobby CNC is a huge expense of you're not sure how it will sell unless you can use it for multiple purposes. Often local businesses are very cost effective for small batch cutting if you do the CAD work yourself

[@TheFishingHobby]

I may look into that at some point. Good idea!

[@unrealshots]

we outsource most of the CNC work we get done, as the machines are just so damn expensive ... not 100% sure how well HDPE cuts with CNC - you may get a fair bit of burring that needs cleaning up by hand...

[@nigelsookdeo6880]

Beautiful video thank you for sharing

[@MuskyHans]

Nice video that looks really neat

[@TheFishingHobby]

Musky Hans thank you! It works really well

[@FelixNew]

great to see you hit those 1000 subs my friend :) awesome video

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you!

[@dmdfishin]

Oh this is awesomely cool brother

[@TheOfficialRemiMoore]

That is a good idea.

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thanks Remi Moore!

[@djokofun]

Absolutely fantastic channel, like it man ;)

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thanks!

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

AWESOMENESS!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!! Great work💯

[@NorthernMike]

Much more "production" oriented than the way I do it (with limited tools).

[@TheFishingHobby]

It makes it a little easier for sure

[@ropermrmeredith06]

wow!...i think i can make one of these...great vid.THANKS!

[@KeifersReelPlanetBass]

That is definitely very cool!👍😉🍺

[@transitvandoors]

Hi, popped by to say thank you for supporting my channel, and staying to add some watch time to your channel. Lets stay connected.

[@NinesCatudio]

Cats go fishing a lot up the Mountain ( best rainbow trout!) Steel head is the size of a goat, really. But if something goes wrong with equipment, we get stuck! Will be learning from you now! High Paw!

[@TheFishingHobby]

:-)

[@mvstormyoneadventures]

thanks for sharing another great video, full watch from me

[@BULLERBEATS]

Awesome video man 👏

[@ctenosmare4506]

congratulations ! can you tell me the flexible cable that is material and where i could find it?

[@TheFishingHobby]

It is made from music wire and you can find it in stores that sell parts for pianos and other instruments that use wire.

[@UnsulliedFishermann]

Can you use Braided fishing line for wrapping the guides instead of polyethylene thread?

[@TheFishingHobby]

Yes

[@chrisallick]

Cool! I’d buy one!

[@TheFishingHobby]

They work really well and I have sold several so far, nothing but positive feedback 👍 Here is a link to the video of the final version of the wrapper and there is a link in the description to the eBay listing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWrNaXaggdmJpJI

[@sassyfamilie]

Nice video! sweet greetings, sassyfamilie 😉 thump up for this video 👍

[@hsolo67]

Hey brother wanted to check in on you see how its going love the vids and it gives me some great ideas for how id like to design my custom rod !!

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thanks! Probably a few more weeks and I will have my first ones ready to sell. I think I will offer the first few here before moving them to eBay to sell.

[@murderinc.hunting7686]

Great idea man👊

[@Interp66]

Great information Brother!

[@margaretanthonysamy5339]

Thank for sharing..... good job

[@fvm2116]

Man that is pretty cool.

[@TheFishingHobby]

Almost as cool as the animation at the start of the video! Thank you for that BTW 👍 Looks really nice!!!

[@fvm2116]

You are welcome 😀 El Miner did the hard part (logo creation)

[@TheFishingHobby]

It all looks hard to me 😁

[@charlescarter6175]

Does the thread carriage slide side to side on the rod?

[@TheFishingHobby]

It does, just slide it over as needed while you are working.

[@TheFishingHobby]

There is a video link in the description of this video that shows all the details about the jig. It is a crazy long video, but I wanted people to know exactly what they are buying. There are links in the description of that video that have titles so you can easily skip around to whatever details you want to know more about.

[@JahDeBeaute808]

awesome

[@PhilFeedback]

Good job, Thanks you for posting this video!!!!

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you for watching!

[@dudeman-kg1lk]

I’m glad I have notifications

[@Litcollect]

Good work.

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you!

[@DirtyRailers]

That's interesting, can't wait to see the final product. Thank.s

[@madscientisthut]

those are cool! red button and like. I might use the tensioner design that you have for winding a transformer, that looks like it might work for me.

[@TheFishingHobby]

Awesome! I have a MOT that I thought about using for a battery pack spot welder

[@madscientisthut]

I have a couple of those in the garage for some later experiments when I have some time, I will rewind them for high current output!

[@larrygreenwood6037]

I need some help. When replacing an eye on my favorite rod the finish on the blank has gotten scratched, how can I refinish the blank and what do I use to do the finish? Thanks, Larry

[@TheFishingHobby]

I usually use a product called CPXtra to refinish rod blanks. Permagloss is a similar product.

[@larrygreenwood6037]

Thanks I’ll try it!

[@ThisIsAnglerTV]

That's pretty legit, you should make a version that is completely automated with an Arduino or something.

[@TheFishingHobby]

That would be cool but tough to do effectively. Even major rod manufacturer's don't use fully automated wrappers. I am working on a power wrapper that I will be selling. Should have a prototype ready in the next month or so.

[@ThisIsAnglerTV]

Nice, are you going to get it UL approved?

[@TheFishingHobby]

Haha, no!

[@ThisIsAnglerTV]

Designing DC power supplies is pretty fun. It took me 2 or 3 attempts the first time to get a good design down that didn't over heat lol

[@TheFishingHobby]

I'm using off the shelf parts 😁

[@Mountainandmolehill]

I don't have much, but I'd buy one!

[@Mountainandmolehill]

I've never built a rod, but I used your method to put a paracord handle on my Black Widow 10 foot pole. Now I'd like to wrap and epoxy the ends of the shrink tubing. I was thinking of looking up rigs to get, and look for more on how to do this. Looks nice!

[@TheFishingHobby]

It is a fun hobby! If you do something like that you should upload a video! If you ever want to tint your epoxy, printer toner does a great job. It doesn't take much to tint a small batch.

[@BluzGuitarGuyFishing]

Nice ! Springs under the wing nuts? ( had a phone call when you were talking about them).

[@TheFishingHobby]

BluzGuitar Guy Fishing Antics well yes on the springs because it makes the tension more even/smooth but the wing nuts don't back off or tighten as the spools rotate because of the thin piece of HDPE plastic on the outside of the spools that connects the two separate threaded rods. The plastic can't rotate because it is attached to the other rod so the wing nuts can't tighten or loosen unless you do it by hand. I hope that makes sense.

[@BluzGuitarGuyFishing]

Of course it makes sense. I was hoping that's what I saw in the vid. ~BGG~

[@TheFishingHobby]

BluzGuitar Guy Fishing Antics that thin pice of HDPE that keeps the wingnuts from moving on their own also acts as the friction washer for that side of the spool.

[@StacemanFPV]

I had the same issue when I did my drone building videos.. if you find a good solution for it, let me know.

[@TheFishingHobby]

Filming from a first person point of view while working is hard!

[@StacemanFPV]

The Fishing Hobby yes it is!!

[@fvm2116]

Action cam of choice on a headstrap or depending what you're doing chest mount

[@TheFishingHobby]

I thought about that but figured it would be hard to keep steady enough for recording something as detailed as this. I need a cam anyway at some point so I may try that if/when I get one. I have some video recording glasses. I may give that a try as a test run.

[@BubbaBass]

Pretty cool

[@ShineBrightStudioPhotography]

Cool video

[@vintage1art]

Are they for sale? I havr been looking for something i could use to wrap while sitting in the drivers seat of a semi truck. I use a steering wheel desk for my fly vise. I wantes something that might work in the truck. Nit bringing the all american from home in here. No space

[@TheFishingHobby]

Vintage 1 Art they are for sale now! Here is a video about them and there is a link to purchase in the description: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWrNaXaggdmJpJI If you have any questions about it, please let me know!

[@WorkingClassOutdoors]

looks good

[@JAC.surffishing.channel]

thanks for this sharing

[@mikejames663]

fair play, really good.

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thanks! The finalized version that I've been selling has done very well 👍

[@OkieRob]

Oh now i want another hobby, like i don't have enough.

[@SarahsCarryOn]

This is awesome you can mark me down for one

[@TheFishingHobby]

Will do! It is a really fun hobby and you can build the rods how you want them to be built too! Lots of blanks and guides available but not a lot of quality hand wrapping jigs out there. Power wrappers usually run hundreds of dollars and are overkill for most people who aren't building rods for a living.

[@Trout2TrailOutdoors]

Awesome device you got there. I made a rod earlier this year without a jig and it was really tough. Just wondering how much you will probably end up selling these for and additionally where you get your rod blanks?

[@TheFishingHobby]

They should work out to under $100 but I need to do some calculations on materials/time to come up with an exact amount. The amount of build time is where a lot of cost is going to be and that is one of the things I'm trying to improve on. It's tough to build a rod without a good jig. It can be done as you know but it certainly isn't ideal. I really like using the spring rod whenever possible because it allows you to back up several turns if you get off track on your wrap. Honestly I mostly rebuild older rods. Jan's Netcraft has a good selection of blanks and really there are a lot of nice ones on eBay too but you have to do some digging.

[@Trout2TrailOutdoors]

The Fishing Hobby awesome thanks for the information!

[@VideoProduction-IT]

Great upload! Nice channel I subscribed 👍 Greetings

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you!

[@unclelou6803]

These for sale anywhere???

[@TheFishingHobby]

I made and sold the final version of these for a couple of years before the materials cost got totally out of hand. I designed and started 3d printing new ones a while back and people have been very happy with them. They are a better setup than this older design, although it was really good too. Here are the hand wrappers I am selling now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn-6eX5maNF7qNUsi=AeDPGL0UWfPYbN12

[@andrewfluharty5346]

Very cool. Do the side supports slide as well, or are they fixed? That was one thing I really liked about your previous wrapper - having the supports able to slide makes wrapping near the tip or in between a split grip much more feasible. Looking forward to seeing this one for sale! I was about to build one for myself after being inspired by that last one, but I'm thinking this would be much simpler!

[@TheFishingHobby]

Andrew Fluharty the supports do slide as well. Thanks so much for the positive comments. I have the redesign done and the first one built. I will be keeping that one and selling the next ones that I make. The crutches and cutting board one works well but this is a better overall design in my opinion. It is easier to store, more versatility in thread options and configuration of the size of the setup. I will get into some of that in the next video, more to come soon!

[@alicefireheart3264]

Sorry about no videos i lost everything

So happy your subs grew! How's the watch time coming along?

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you! I had the watch time but the subs were what I was lacking 👍

[@TIFFAFO]

The Fishing Hobby oh that’s great!! Everyone else I know is struggling with watch time! Congrats!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@TheFishingHobby]

Yeah, I can imagine! I never really worried much about subscribers and was happy just to collect my KZbin checks but the switched they rules up on me 😂 Oh well, I've enjoyed checking out everyone else and what others are doing on their channels. It will actually help my own channel learning from others!

[@TIFFAFO]

The Fishing Hobby I know I’ve really enjoyed it too! I love the community you’ve created!

[@paloloboi01]

Do you still sell these???

[@TheFishingHobby]

Not at this time. I lost my source for the HDPE I used to build them and they would be very expensive to build/sell. If I find a less expensive source I will start making them again.

[@paloloboi01]

@@TheFishingHobby keep me posted braddah

[@norman1826]

very cool Idea...user friendly though.

[@TheFishingHobby]

It is definitely the easiest one to work with out of all the different jigs I have used. Here is a link to the completed version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWrNaXaggdmJpJI This a link to see it being used to wrap and finish a guide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKm1pXtqma1-a5o
