I had no intention of wrapping a fishing rod with paracord. But I'm so glad I found your video. You're an excellent teacher. Great video I enjoyed the watch.
This is a great tutorial for those looking to wrap there handles , I did mine on a black widow carbon fiber cane pole because it was just a smooth finish and wanted grips on it when your hands are wet and slippery, I also did some decorative thread wraps in gold foil and red thread covered them up with clear hard as nails nail polish it looks great , thanks for posting Tom .👍🏼
Tom, you are an excellent instructor. I appreciate you taking the time to put this video together. I’m going to use this technique on my fish gaf. Thank you very much.
Good job Tom!! I like it. I have three rods that I need to do that are the same style as yours, catfish and poles I was going to use baseball bat tape but now that I seen your video I think I’m gonna use Paracord. I’m glad I came across your video. Thank you and God bless.🙏🫶🏼👍🎣🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
Thank you so much; I do my own repair on guides on rods and also complete guide sets top to bottom. The method you demonstrated with the cord is the same rod builders use when using winding thread. I have several rods that need some cork rings and have wondered how to repair them without the cost of today's cork rings, and still make them look attractive. You have just given me the greatest idea. Now I can use the right color cord to match my rod. Thanks so much.
VERY cool.. this is really a nice artistic way to make a gift ... you are a good man sir... thank you for your time! and I appreciate you and for your contribution to this world .. many people do not do much anymore ....this is a great lesson in many ways... 💙🤙😊
Glad it may help you. I have seen where some will to the wraps, then un-wrap about 6 turns and apply a little glue along one side. Then re-wrap and pull the pigtail under the glue. Good luck.
Tom Waskom I’ve done one rod like this I’m about to do another one I’ve been using 80lb lb braid to pull it through but it kills my hand to pull that braid lol what is another way I could pull it thorough because I can’t come up with anything
Race that is a way to pull the pigtail under the prior wraps to lock it down. I have used that method but decided to try the homemade wire tool with handle to get a better grip on it. A handle could also be used with the heavy mono line. Thanks for the response. The more experience added here the better. Thanks
