Can you do a video how you ream Eva/Winn grips? Thank you

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Sure thing.

Hardest part for a beginner..me..is the tension you put on the thread when winding

[@reelbluecustomrods]

I hear you. I’m always adjusting mine, or spinning the spool of thread. Thanks for watch and commenting Eric.

[@tonyduran4764]

As an under wrap it works well but as an over wrap not so much because theres not enough length to get the effect from the thread unless you add a complimentary secondary color to the over wrap.

[@reelbluecustomrods]

Thanks for watching and commenting Tony. I think it could be up to the person wrapping the rod, on wether or not it works as an overwrap. Of course the longer the wrap the more detail you would get out of the thread, but if you don’t want a lot a detail it may be ok as an overwrap.
