How to paracord wrap a fishing rod handle. Simple. 

Writing from Barbados,I am a rock fisherman and I saw your video on paracord wrapping, I wrapped my rod and i love it ,thanks ,keep posting.

Hagen,Hagen, Hagen!! My heart skipped a beat when you made that cut down the length of the grip with your thigh right underneath. If you slip and hit the right/wrong place on your leg, you've got about two minutes left, and you'll leave a big mess behind, brother!

I like the way you start and end the wraps, great idea!

Hello and blessings, thanks for sharing. You blessed me and my sons. I followed your instructions and my rod handle came out just how I wanted. I appreciate your time. May God bless you and all your family and friends.

brilliant and in-expensive fix for a keeper rod!! thanks!!

Wow just seeing this out of the box ru-vid.comUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

My rod handle get scratched by my cat and have no idea how to repair it. This video really helps. Thanks man!

Hagen, I have been wrapping rods with paracord for years and do it just like you do with the exception that I put down a layer of epoxy first. Never had one come loose and I do put a few drops of glue up against the reel seat. Great video.

Tried my first one today, did ok. Thanks for the video n tips bud, fish on...

Just did that to my new Whisker Seeker rod with black and orange to match it, thanks for the video ! !

Love it. I have two BnM rods that came power cord wrapped but, I can use this idea to wrap my hiking stick. Great info. Thanks for sharing.

I tried this with old rod that was one if my favorites at one time. Works great! Thank you.

Another great video ! Good idea to gussy up a old fishing rod and keep it in the rotation 👍👍👍

I just did a couple of my tuna sticks and they are sweet. My buddies now want it done. I did find that silicone based water proofing spray works really well to keep tye water and muck out.

Very f-ing cool. I'm definitely doing this to all my rods. Awesome idea thanks for posting this. I'll let you know how they turn out

Heck yeah. Hagen's got it going on!!

Man am I glad this showed up on my feed. I have some surf rods the cork is shot. Definitely doing this.

Very useful this video and very interesting method. I didn't know it. I can't wait to customize my rods. Good job.

Thanks for the info did as you said and the turned out great. Thanks again.

Great idea works a treat thanks for posting ALIEN

I’m definitely going to try this! Thank you for posting

WOW !!! That looks great! This is another idea of yours that I am going to use on my stuff. LOL

Great idea and execution

Absolutely awesome idea works a treat looks so good i have done all my 6 rods thanks for posting top class video,Dell Boy

That turned out really great. 👍

I am very happy to have discovered your channel, great video, you have good hands !!!

Nice informative video. I have a few older rods I'm going to try that with. I've gotta repair them anyways, and it'll give them new life again.

Excellent video! I have great ideas thanks to this technique.

Did the thing and turned out great

Scotchgard works great. Spray 2 or 3 times and the shad scales and catfish slime wipe off with a wet rag. Cool video.

Did a couple of my pro angler tackle 10' rods. Turned out much better than I expected.

Just got done doing this and looks great 👌 thanks for the info. Tried to add pics but I can't figure out how lol. Tight lines brother.

I don't care for cork, So I'm going to try this on my two cork rods. Thanks for sharing!

Damn, you did a nice job on that. . Thanks for sharing brother.

This is awesome, im certainly gonna do this to mine.

Been doing this for the last 20 years. Works great. I was waiting for that paracord to melt all over your pants and watch you jump up and knock everything over. ;)

Epic video. I am going to go down into the vault and see if there are any rods I would consider paracord wrapping the handles. Thanks for the tutorial!

Looks beautiful bro thank you !

Very cool wrap nicely done my friend

Love it, gonna do a couple of my ol rods.love all your videos, you've always got ideas outside the box like me too, I love "tinkerin" with fishing stuff and always thinking. Good fishing to you and your son, I'm from Cincinnati and the two pools up here the meldahl and the Markland, are not what they used to be 40 years ago because of all of the commercial netting. Now I have to travel to get into some really good catfishing maybe I'll see you down the way 🤗🇺🇸😎God Bless

Great video man always informative !

Im gonna doing my rod like that.good job brother

Must say that this was an excellent video..Thanks for sharing, Sy...

That looks awesome man great job 2

Awesome!!! Might try this tomorrow

Looks good, I've got one I'm gonna try this on.

Great Video - good looking finish !!

Awesome, I am going do that with some thinner paracord above the reel seat, where I want more grip!

Great job looks awsome

Nice job brother I'm going to have to do this to a cork handle that getting a little ruff. I will let you know how it turned out. Keep doing what you do.

hey, that's a good idea. thanks

Looks nice and good work. I’ll give you a hint. There is a better way to finish your wrap and won’t need to pull thru with string. Not sure what the term is but it’s same as wrapping a bow serving. You wrap over your tag end then pull tight and don’t have to pull thru your end wraps.

Paracord ordered! Gonna give this a try on one of my old Shakespeare Sturdy Sticks once it comes in!

I have a customer requesting Para cord as his grips on his rod Thanks for the tips & how too I was unsure of how to start & finish it or to glue the whole lot. Good point on becoming smelly & being able to change it if necessary Cheers Stevo Australia

I can imagine seeing this on uk carp rods soon. Gunna try it on one of my rods

This made my poles look nice thanks

nice job doing wrapping technique

Genius! thanks for sharing.

I like it ! Good job

I enjoyed your video. I did a similar wrap to a B n M Silver Cat spinning rod with the exception that I super glued the ends to the last wrap and rod handle but I believe your method of drawing a portion of the covering sheath back through several wraps is superior and will undoubtedly last longer. I cautiously used a heat gun around the ends which fused the nylon wrap post super glue. I like your system better. Thanks for sharing.

It looks good I may try it to one this winter. Sometimes it is nice to have something to do when its cold and snowing outside.

Smart idea thanks bud

Well done thank you for sharing

Sweet love what you did on the rode handle hay this is what I did on mine I used thine ca glue on the handles keeps them from getting mest up.

That's pretty slick

Great Video ,Very Informative

This is a brilliant video, nice work man

Looks good. You should get little jar of contact glue and brush a little on rod as you wrap to help hold cord in place. If you old did it on the ends it would help a lot.

wow~~that's a good idea. thanks

nice i did all my rods that way after watching your video only thing i did different was to put a light coat of varnish over the para cord but wow my rods look good

Nice work👍🏻

Nice diy. Try spraying 3-5 coats of camp dry or scotch guard on your wraps. That will help prevent water and blood absorption.

Freaking awsome! i got a couple rods that need this done.

hell yeah grate job i may have to try this

beautyful wrap, like it

Great idea. I’m going to use x-wrap heat shrink tube over it anyway.. but I wonder if the clear flex seal would work! That way it doesn’t get nasty from bait, but still being able to keep the look of the paracord, and possibly extend the life of it.

Hey man that's a good job good idea you could probably finish that up with some clear gel coat or something to seal it that way you would have problems with things soaking into your handle just a thought good fishing buddy you keep producing them we'll keep watching them

Thank you sir looks good

"What ye gonna do with that lawnmower blade Carl"?😂

Just started watching your videos keep up the good work ! subscribed 👍🏻

It looks lovely nice one. iv always wanted a rod like that naw a can thank u

That's great I'm gonna try that thanks 😊 God bless

Great video

Great tip bro 👍🏻👍🏻

Looks damn good.

Man I’m just seeing this this is great

I'm going to try this Cool 😎

Looks good

To counter the blood and smell , get you a can of Scotchgard Heavy Duty Water Shield ( the green and white can) will also keep the cord looking great. Tight Lines

Ended up re-wrapping two! Also you might see a jump in views as this is now being shared on a FB group after I finished up and posted the results !

Spray good with some clear coat

Cool video

Solid tips dude. I like it. Being in the Army I have plenty of that cord laying around. Hope to fish with you one day man. The Army is moving me to Ft Knox next summer. I can't wait. Hopefully we can meet up and fish on!!

I have done several rods like this if you seal them with a clear urethane the blood and stink can’t get in the thread it takes a good bit you need to soak it in good and the cord won’t fade either

And i just wrapped mine with electrical tape. Time to redo. Looks good.

good way to keep the wrap from soaking stuff up is to coat it a mixture of equal parts elmers glue (PLA glue for outside US) and water. Let it dry for a day and you are golden

Creative!

I recommend using System Three clear coat epoxy on top of the cord. It'll take care of it soaking in liquids and smells. Plus, give it a smooth and glossy finish.

Good stuff. I'm sure the paracord can be soaked and clean just like any other fabric material. Thx

Mild detergent, toothbrush(not the one your currently using) soak the handle in warm water with detergent, scrub with toothbrush, rinse thoroughly, let dry. Blood and smell gone. Sound good?
