Simple Trim Bands for underwraps or guides

[@joereid8557]

Mary is the coolest and most helpful rodbuilder alive! respect like always

[@MHFROX]

Excellent video! Ironically, I'm building a rod for my brother, who is a huge Florida Gators (Orange & Blue) fan. In researching ideas for under-wraps & trims I came across this video. I don't believe I need to look any further! Thank you!

[@joebillups4893]

Very good explanation and overview. I’m planning to do this on my next build and experimenting a bit on my current build. Thank You!

[@Puuchu]

I'm new to rod wrapping.... and ma'am your technique along with explanation is very easy to understand/follow and straight to the point, thank you for the great video, you just got a new subscriber!

[@PalmettoRod]

Thank you very much! I'm glad I could help!

I need to stop biting my nails so I can have a built in burnishing tool like yours. 😊

[@americanstriper8666]

Best video I've ever seen in underwrap! After this, do you put on the epoxy and then wrap a guide on, or wrap the guide and then epoxy the whole thing at once?

[@bradymcphail9690]

I wish you were still sharing your youtube videos. I have never built any rods, but I understand how you explain. I'm waiting for my rod kits to arrive...

Since 1972, I have been wrapping guides (stainless ring and a few white ceramic ring back then) with individual threads for trim bands placing each color butted against the next after pull thru. My bands are usually 7-8 wraps in order to hold the over and under tag ends, and as soon as pulled thru an alignmant for centering is done and finalized with a bit of clear nail polish to set and hold the wraps until epoxied. The way demonstrated appears to be substantially more secure on the wraps because the thread is completely under the longitudal underwrap which obviously makes it more secure. Only thing I don't like about this is fiddling with the tag ends to straighten them back out after turning each color of trim, but I will certainly give this a go. I do all my wrapping by hand with a fly bobnin and without aid of any wrapping machines or stands, so this will be a challenge as a newer technique will have to be developed. If it works for me it will be a great help. Thanx. Snyper Custom Rod, Lure, and Knife.

Thank you!

[@brianhagerty9324]

Thanks it really made sense.

[@mandolin8297]

EXCELLENT WORK! I need to remind myself to NOT trim the nails on my index fingers - much easier to push those threads snug when there's a little space between them. I do believe women are better at this kind of fine detail work, thanks to fine motor coordination skills and smaller slenderer fingers. Oh, yeah, and better color perception compared to males who have fewer "cones" in their eyes and tend to be more often color blind compared to females. Hey, ever seen Dad (or yourself) wearing one dark blue sock and one black one? Maybe women are a bit more patience too.

what do you use for pull through loops?

[@streetcat1510]

Could you please tell me what is the pound/lb tension of the wrapping thread, great video.

[@girl1166]

Awesome!!

[@PhillipPierceall]

what brand is the power wrapper are you using

[@GEEYRADOS818]

hi! when u wrap the guide over the underwrap is it basically the same as wrapping a guide without an underwrap? or is there a special or specific way to do it? does the guide get wrapped ontop after the underwrap is epoxied? if its to much o explain here could u please do a short video on wrapping the guide after wrapping the underwrap? thx

[@thankfullife7968]

gorgeous work what type thread have you used here ty

[@PalmettoRod]

Voodoo black coal and Madeira 40wt.

[@thankfullife7968]

Palmetto Rod tnx very much. I’m looking forward to starting to build my own rods and only resource I have currently is mudhole so I’ll check to see if they carry that thread

[@PalmettoRod]

@@thankfullife7968 actually mudhole doesn't carry either. We purchased the black coal from voodoo rods and the madiera from Billy Vivona at [e-mail]. His website is northeastrodbuilders.com

[@adamsoutdoors]

Would have liked to see it finished with the guide attached.

[@dorflonnigan4413]

Very instructive video thank you. is there a rule of thumb on how long a guide wrap should be, I know a lot is personal preference, but some wraps look way too long to me and I"ve seen others that just look too short, just looking for general rule. thank you

[@PalmettoRod]

There really isn't a general rule regarding length. It comes down to personal preference and how you want or don't want to affect the action of a blank. The longer the wrap, the more the epoxy and thread will stiffen it. Some builds that's great for, others it's not. I typically try to keep them as short as possible but also size them to the guide and blank as well.

What wrapping stand are you using?

[@alan82669]

Tq info.

[@michaelmartin4247]

Mary, it looks like you might be using dental floss as your pull throughs....if so, would that be waxed or unwaxed floss?

[@PalmettoRod]

Actually that's nanofil fishing line!

[@cjhenry0101]

Palmetto Rod what lb test nanofil do you use? I’ve seen the flexcoat guys use 15lb Super Slick power pro. I wonder if nanofil is better.

[@PalmettoRod]

We use 17 lb nanofil.

[@paulbacallo4739]

Nice Video i will be building my next Fly Rod with a single trim band, excellent Trim Band tutorial with step by step explanation. Just the Auto focus is giving me a head ache. Otherwise you got a new subscriber!!!

[@hawaiiaction.1976]

Took forever for one guide

[@jtee9548]

Great video, but turn the friggin' auto focus off!

[@cjhenry0101]

Would you use this same method for trim bands on spinning rod?

[@PalmettoRod]

Doesnt matter the guide. Spinning or casting. Trim bands are all done the same way

[@cjhenry0101]

Palmetto Rod I wasn’t sure if having so many tag ends under the main thread wrap would be noticeable because you’d end up with three tag ends on top of a spinning rod blank. Which is the side of the blank you’d be looking at while fishing.

[@PalmettoRod]

You just have to make sure you hide and burnish them down. I've done it many times but usually there aren't as many

[@three003d]

What is the name brand of your wrapper. I am going to upgrade and would like more options other than pac bay and american wrapper

[@PalmettoRod]

Chad L that one is called a custom power wrapper by anglers workshop. You can also look at alps (our other wrapper) and renzetti.

[@three003d]

@@PalmettoRod I like the thread cariage

[@washy81]

Do you put a coat of cp or finish on before you wrap the guide on?

[@PalmettoRod]

On these, I put CP on the trim bands but not the black. I then overwrapped with black for the feet

[@cannedheat6301]

Never occurred to me how handy some long fingernails might be.

[@hawaiiaction.1976]

I do it way different and easier

Congratulations?

Tip is great but please lose the auto focus is killing your video

Thanks Tom, we have been using our phone and and tablet cameras but I agree. We are hoping to upgrade to something less annoying 😊

Yeah I could barely watch it, but her skills are great and she knows how to explain things really well. I hope they can sort that focus thing out and post more vids like this. I don't build any rods but seeing how these are made is super cool. Thanks.
