This is our latest Video on tying locking wraps on single foot micro guides.

You know, there is nothing like the feel of a quality rod blank. Now, with the smaller, lightweight micro guides, you can have a rod that feels just as good as a blank. Roger Seiders is back to demonstrate a technique to secure these small single foot micro guides. This simple tweak on a standard wrap helps to grab the 1/8" guide foot and ensure it won't be ripped out from under the wrap.

Nice! Had hoped to see you guys at the Expo last month. Would be neat to have Roger on hand to show all this stuff in person.

Just finished my first build and now you tell me all I needed was a piece of straw slit lengthwise to tuck in the thread behind the micro guides! LOL. I agree with James, where were you last month! Might be a great way to line up the thread in front of the guide to. I got another one to go so thanks for the great demo and idea.
