Does anyone have any idea of where to get the metal track used for building a rod wrapper? I am talking about the track with a groove in it for 1/4 inch bolts. What is it called? where to look
Thanks in advance

Its called extruded aluminum you can get from scrap yards @#$%& there are a few companys online that sell it but its pretty expensive .

Hi Jim , try an internet search for McMasters .The're a tool and hardware distributor . Also try a search for WWGrainger , they do the same and may have the extruded aluminum . As Steve mentioned , a scrap yard will also have some different pieces of "track" , but you'll have to do some poking around if they'll let you . Have fun ............. you could always make one out of oak , if I remember you correctly you said you were a cabinet maker . Good luck , John NERBS

Got Fish ?

A couple of the Sponsors carry parts for the Amtak and PacBay power wrappers.
You can order the track sections, thread carrage, and rod stands and have a real
nice hand wrapper.

It's pretty easy to build a real nice wood rod jig as well. You can find plans here!

We carry the base section for the Forecast wrapper and as far as I know it will work for some of the other wrappers as well . The base is 4' long and cost $19.05 . They are on our website Fishsticks 4u , we are on the sponsor list . Or call 804-966-7577 Robert

Jim,
Check your email, I sent you a link to where I bought mine.

Jeff;
I am looking to build one also Could you send that link to junkmansj@yahoo.com

Just checked out FishStiks4-U and the track is $18.67, rod stands $16.00, and the most expensive
thing is the thread carrage and it's $33.56 so, 18.67 + 32.00(2 stands) + 33.56 = $84.23 +shipping!
and you will have the sweetest little rod jig. Light and very portable too!

A woodin jig is much cheaper to make and they work good to but, sit down in front of both types
and see which you like better. I know which one it will be!

Jeff,
If you know a better deal on a wrapper with similar components let me know please!
