I think he wants the name of the book - It's called "Rod Building Guide" from Amato publications. Most any of the sponsors here would have it.

If you prefer a DVD, the Flex Coat DVD titled "How We Do It" is very good.

the books great. that was the first thing i bought when deciding to start . I also own the Dvd, also informative but the CEO builds the complete rod by hand, and seems to do it all in one day. It was hard to believe but the info was great. The photos in the "rod building guide" are the best for the rod wrapping and show you where and how to pull the thread through to lock it on itself. also just recommend watching videos on youtube they have also been very informative on wrapping and general knowledge about Rod Building.
