Vic Cutter shot this over to me last evening. It shows a commercial rod operation and the processes involved in modern rod making on a commercial level. There are several interesting steps for rod builders to watch and in particular, seems to be some sort of heat sensitive thread or adhesive which negates the need for tie-off loops when completing a wrap. For these people, time is money.

I thought I could wrap guides quickly. Apparently I was wrong. Re: Commercial Rod Making

Tom,
Thanks for sharing the great video. See how quick and easy it is? Custom rod builders make it look so difficult lol. Mark Talmo FISHING IS NOT AN ESCAPE FROM LIFE BUT RATHER A DEEPER IMMERSION INTO IT!!! BUILDING YOUR OWN SIMPLY ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE. Re: Commercial Rod Making

Very interesting. We have a string of posts regarding expected weight variation in blanks. I think a .4 oz discrepancy was reported on about a 2 oz blank. That's 20%. After watching this video do you really think that there could be a 20% variation in blank weight from blank to blank?
No, 20% is probably a typo or some other mistake in specifying the weight. Second comment: I've always thought I was a half fast wrapper. I was wrong. More like a 10% fast wrapper. Re: Commercial Rod Making

There’s a video I found on social that shows a wrapping lathe where the blank stays still and the wrapper turns around the blank. Super fast but they also secure the thread with a lighter Re: Commercial Rod Making

Building a fishing rod is an act of love. No sense in rushing. Re: Commercial Rod Making
