Most all are pretty darn good these days. The Renzetti and Custom Power Wrap (Anglers Workshop) are about the best and they're also the most expensive.

The current offerings from American Tackle, Batson Enterprises and Pacific Bay are about half the money but represent a great value in terms of what they'll do for what they cost.

Flex Coat has some unique power wrappers of their own. Be sure to have a look at them as well.

I have the Batson power wrapper and I love it....except for the chuck assembly. There is an after market chuck assembly that Angler's Workshop sells that fits on the Batson and the Pacific Bay wrappers. It is rock solid and true. Even with the upgrade on the chuck, I think you'll still find it cheaper than some of the others. I believe the Batson and Pac Bay power wrappers are identical, although I could be wrong. If they are as I believe, I would go with whichever one you could find the better deal on. Happy shopping

I put Pac Bay's new chuck assembly on my homemade power wrapper and found it light years beyond their older assembly. It's well engineered and works great. Got it from Custom Tackle.
