How to set up your CRB Hand Wrapping Station: Custom Rod Building

[@ralphwaltrts5994]

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great video, keep up the good work.

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Thank you, and you too.

I started practicing wrapping today. But, first let me say, I have the same wing nuts you have and put them on, and I found that they tighten up, and I'm constantly having to loosen them. So, I went back to the black knob, which has that white teflon ring. This is what the black knob is for. It prevents the nut from backing off or tightening up. I would like to see your rod support stands. I'm using the ones that came with my kit.

[@reelbluecustomrods]

I use CRB stands and they work perfectly. Also glad to hear that you started practicing with you wrapper. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Thank you

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Very welcome Buck, and thanks for watching.

[@SavageTuna]

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! Richard from Kansas;)

[@reelbluecustomrods]

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

[@DavidHorvath-nf3vf]

I just got my new crb hand wrapper

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Congratulations David.

[@watermelongrin]

Is there a reason why the thread is passing under the spool instead over the spool? I'm new to this, and I just received the same wrapping station you have. In the box was a 1/2' piece of what looks to be hot glue stick. There is no information on this.

[@reelbluecustomrods]

@@watermelongrin - yes, I like to run the thread from the bottom versus the top.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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?

[@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.
