Rod Building Basics: Part 1 - The Basic Wrap

Welcome to the Rod Building Basics Series, designed specifically to assist newcomers in the art of rod building. In this series, we'll delve into various topics to provide step-by-step guidance for those just starting out. These videos are zoomed in and done at a slow pace, ensuring clarity and attention to detail, so you can confidently build your own fishing rods.
In this particular video, we'll focus on the basic wrap. This method is used to wrap guides, hook keepers and sometimes even trim bands/trim wraps as well. I also point out specific details that I think are often overlooked in hopes that it makes the process easier to understand as you learn how to build a fishing rod.
Do you have any questions or need further clarification? What do you think about this basic guide wrap tutorial? Feel free to leave your thoughts and questions in the comments section below! Your engagement is highly encouraged, as it helps foster a vibrant community of rod builders supporting one another.
Thank you for joining us on this exciting rod building journey! Get ready to elevate your skills and create exceptional fishing rods with our Rod Building Basics Series.

Doing my first practice wrap now on a carbon arrow shaft. :) Thank you for your work here.

[@TheFishingHobby]

I hope it is going well! It can be a little tricky at first, but with a little practice you’ll get the hang of it. I’ve never mentioned this on my channel, but you can go to Walmart or a sporting goods store and pick up an inexpensive telescopic “cane pole” type of a rod like one of these: www.walmart.com/ip/10-Black-Widow-Ready-Rig-Telescopic-Panfish-Pole-by-B-n-M-Pole-Company/15908257 and unscrew the butt cap and slide all the rod sections out and use them to practice on. They are tapered like a normal rod would be and have about any diameter you would ever run across when building a rod. Cheap too!

[@dorflonnigan4413]

Good information

[@TheFishingHobby]

Thank you!

[@Toaster79]

When you pull your thread out in the end, could I introduce new colour at that point so I pull two tag ends through

[@TheFishingHobby]

Sure!

[@patdelaney9957]

Are there different thicknesses of wrapping thread ? I'm a beginner and I think what I'm using is awfully thin.

[@TheFishingHobby]

Yes! Size “A” is similar to what I’m using in this video. Size “D” is a common size that has a thicker diameter and is much easier to work with for most people.

[@CasksnQue]
