Hello All.

I've had a brain fart, I can't remember if the star field on an American Flag goes to the butt or the tip?

Thanks for the help with the memory reboot.

Stars face up

Up and the flag’s own right (observer(s) left).

Robert,
Typically viewed, the present day USA American flag has a blue background with 50 stars in the upper, left corner with 13 alternating red and white stripes (7 - red, 6 - white = 13, the original number of states within the U.S.) below and to the right of the blue background containing the stars (50 = the 50 states). While I am quite certain that the number of stripes has always been 13, the number of stars has changed over the years to reflect how many states are (were) presently in the Union.
But REVERSE flags are somewhat common as well, especially on the sleeves of military personnel clothing. While the left sleeve may sport a “typical” direction american flag, the right sleeve was often “reverse” to accommodate the appearance of the wind blowing from front to back. Nonetheless, the blue background containing the stars is typically left-top.

FISHING IS NOT AN ESCAPE FROM LIFE BUT RATHER A DEEPER IMMERSION INTO IT!!! BUILDING YOUR OWN SIMPLY ENHANCES THE EXPERIENCE.

stars should go to the tip of the rod in my opinion. I see some wrapped the other way and I think it has to do with the book or other they are following and not thinking about which end of the rod is which….(

Hello All.

Thanks for the help folks, been having a few brain farts lately, I must have done 20+ flags on rods before, but now zip.

Thanks Again.
