Does anyone see a distinct advantage in one style or the other, i.e. wrapping with thread above the blank or coming from below? I am just gwtting used to my new Master Track Wrapper and as of yet see no advantage to wrapping from above. Also tough to learn a new trick I guess, but just looking for more input. Thanks!

I learned how to wrap by myself, trial and error. I learned to wrap with the thread coming from underneath. I went to purchase a Rod Lathe and found all of them except the Custom power wrapper from Angler's Workshop require wrapping with thread from above. I was very against this and did not want to switch. Made the purchase and after I had wrapped a couple of rods, couldn't remember why I thought underneath was better. It is strictly a matter of personal preference, now that I wrap with thread from above, can't imagine switching back. My suggestion, do what makes sense to you and seems easier, but if you ever think you will purchase a power wrapper, might as well learn to wrap from above now, before you become ingrained doing it the other way.

Sean, I am still new at rodbuilding, but I have done it both ways, and have settled with wrapping from above. I find that it gives me better control, and it's easier to get perfect wraps if I can watch the thread as it goes on. If there is any gap or overlay, I can correct it instantly, rather than having to back up, as when wrapping from beneath. Hope this helps. TH Re: Wrap from above or below

I've done it both ways and like wrapping from above. I think that after you have done a few rods you will agree that its more comfortable and you have a little more control over thr thread. I've found that it is easier to place by tie off loop from the top. Incerting a single threat trim is easier and as stated above you can see the thread as it goes onto the blank and make necessary corrections. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
