New Custom Bass Rod - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Brian Sanner · 02-19-2012, 04:56 PM

I've wrapped a few rods in my time, and never had a power wrapper. I went the cheap route and got the foot pedal and sewing machine motor. I had a friend with a machine shop that machined me a cup that fit into the motor and drilled and tapped some holes (3) in the cup for chucking up the butt of the rod, worked great. The drying motor on the other hand was a pain. Used to use a Big Boy rotisserie motor but really needed something a little more continuous duty.

Nice job on the rod, really looks good.

Great job! I'm still learning. Great hobby to scratch the itch when you can't get on the water. I have a power wrapper but find myself using my old setup. Don't want to threadjack, but for those interested in a simple, inexpensive setup to get started here you go:
