Thank you so much for the reply John everything you do and everything you respond always is a big help. Basically you’re just give me the vote of confidence because I am a new builder so I greatly appreciate it.

I'm building a patriotic edition rod. Just started building recently as a hobby. Was trying to do a star pattern but that's alittle much for me being a starter. I ran across this video and love it. Thank you for the advice. Can't wait to start wrapping
This is beautiful and thank you for continually putting out new videos. They have been incredibly helpful in getting me started with rod building! Looking forward to learning how to space out these marks on a tapered blank.
Another great tutorial, John. I helped build fifteen fly rods for the local Casting for Recovery chapter that they started last year and did the decorative wraps on most of them. The majority of the designs were from your videos. I like how you get into the color theory as it relates to the color of the blank and where to locate the colors in the wrap.
Thank you Jarhead and I’m glad my videos have been helpful. Appreciate the comment about color theory as well and glad you noticed. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Nice work John, I have done several chevron wraps and a few of the chevron sideways wraps but never did a multi directional wrap like this one. Thanks for the demo . I will be doing one with my next build. Thanks for the suggestion and tutorial.
John I always enjoy your videos, the question I have is most of the Rob builders like yourself and some other guys that I watch and follow you guys do a lot of these fade raps Chevron dragon scales and I know I probably asked you this before but a lot of freshwater fishing guys don’t seem to have those kind of patterns on their rods so for freshwater bass fishing guys what do you do just a basic guide wraps a few trim bands call it a day. Just curious John. I’ve only built five rods and each one of them seem to be a battle on what to do for the customer, especially when they don’t tell you what they want, leave it up to you. Any help would be appreciated. Have a great day.
@@DavidHorvath-nf3vf - thanks so much David, and then ball just really depends. That being said, if the customer leaves it up to me, I do what I think would look great and make that build unique in its own way. Evening that means adding a decorative wrap to a bass rod. Hope this helps.
John I think this is a simple question with a simple answer but as usual I'm lost in translation. I see you go to the right tape and make multiple wraps to line up the thread. Is that to hold the thread or find the proper thread to follow? I'm continuing to go through all the videos as I can. I can't tell you enough how these videos are making my mind work. Again Thank you.
Thank you Dave, and I’m very glad my videos are helping you with rod building. As for your question, it is both. It’s to hold the thread in place and to line up my next wrap along the thread. Thank you for watching and commenting Dave.
Hey reel, appreciate you posting these tutorial videos. I just got into rod building but there seems to be alot of gatekept knowledge locked behind pay walls. Im having to really dig on the internet to find little gems of info to really understand things. I don't want to pay $300 for in-person classes, or buy a bunch of $40 dollar books.
I totally get it and I’m glad you found the video useful. No pressure, and only if you are interested, here are two resources that I think you should read or watch. The first is a link to my ebook on all things guide wraps reelbluecustomrods.com/product/guide-wraps-ebook/. And the other is a video I think prologue get a lot of value out of. The Two Forms of Thread & Double Over-wraps: Custom Rod Building th-cam.com/video/bISuiQ7HREs/w-d-xo.html
John ,love the videos. Question. This wrap move the center of the wrap around the blank making it difficult to center the wrap with the reel seat as the thread builds on top instead of horizontal along the blank. Any rule as to what to allow so as the wrap centerline finishes in the centerline of the reel seat
Nice video John. If this wrap was done over an under wrap of a solid color would you apply a coat of finish to the under wrap first or just finish everything at the same time? Thanks
It all depends on the type of thread I was using. But for this one I would have put finish over the under wrap since the red, white, and blue threads are NCP thread.
No I have not Tom. Super glue sometimes turns white when it comes in contact with other products, so I stay away from it. Also, makes guide repair a pain in the but as well.
Do you have a video showing the materials you need to start wrapping rods? I want to do this to some of my personal rods but don’t really know where to start.

I build UL- Med inshore wade and kayak rods. I dont build rods with this type of work, but love watching it. Great job. Maybe itll get me to expand.

Great wrap
Thank you Jack.
Looks awesome, this is something I was looking for.
Thank you Brian and glad to hear it. Let me know how it turns out once you try it.
What was your original dot spacing on top side and bottom side
The dowel diameter, and thank you for watching and commenting Frank.
Love the longer video. Great how too. If i wanted the diamonds you form to be top dead center,,i assume i would start my lay out at 45 degrees??
Yes, 45 or 90 degrees. Thank you for watching and commenting.

Do you add the background music or do you have some superhero level theme music that plays every time you get in the zone doing a wrap 😎
Added the background music to kind of break it up a little. 😀😀😀 Thank you for watching and commenting.

It looks fantastic. Thanks for the lesson. Do you have a video on how to get your marks on a rod that is tapered where your doing the wrap?
Working on one now and should have it up for next week Cesar.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@reelbluecustomrods This is going to be so helpful. Looking forward to watching.

Any rule as to what to allow so as the wrap centerline finishes in the centerline of the reel seat
No rule really Richard, but try starting the wrap on the left or right side of the parabolic bend - 45-90 degrees from center.
Also glad you liked the video and thank you for watching and commenting.

John,
Have you ever used a drop of super glue to hold micro guides in place prior to wrapping?
Tom
No I have not Tom. Super glue sometimes turns white when it comes in contact with other products, so I stay away from it. Also, makes guide repair a pain in the but as well.
Do you have a video showing the materials you need to start wrapping rods? I want to do this to some of my personal rods but don’t really know where to start.
I do have some video on hand wrappers and thread. Let me know if you are unable to find them.
Thank you for watching and commenting as well.
could you do two red two win te and two blue and then expand oor subtract the numbers of wraps
@@skeeterrains - yes, you could, but it would change the color pattern a little. Thank you for watching and commenting.
Sorry you are doing 3 color. Thanks
No worries. 😉 think the red, white and blue came out great.
