Newbie builder here.. used your straw method with recent tag wraps but they would come loose when I burnished them. I started adding a wee drop of color preserver just where the two tag ends stuck out then waited to trim them until the CP had dried. No more unravelling. Yay!!! Thanks for sharing that method, it makes a nail knot much nicer than the one where you don't use the straw but trap the threads between your thumb & index finger. Sorry I missed the live stream... next time...

I'm currently building a 10', 2-piece 5wt fly rod for the first time in almost 40 years. That tag wrap technique is new to me and so easy I got it on my first try! Just ordered a dozen different threads and hope to finish the rod by next week with some nice bling like sawtooth wraps and nice tags on the single foot guides above eh two-foot stripping guide. First time ever making my own grip and that went well. Some great videos and I'm watching lots!

Awesome Bill and I’m glad you find the videos useful. Feel free to send me a picture once you finish your first rod. I’d love to see how it turns out.

Thank you very much, and I hope your road to recovery is going very well. I lost a dear friend to prostate cancer back in 2014.

@@reelbluecustomrods Sorry about your friend. It's something that seems to hit too many people. A brother Navy Chief and very close friend lost his fight in 2017. I immediately went and got my PSA checked and missed that I probably already had it then. Tell every male 40+ to get their prostate checked.

Love the videos John!! They are super helpful! I was curious if you recommend double wrapping the guides?

@reelbluecustomrods 8 ай бұрын

Thank you and I’m glad you love them. I only double over wrap heavy freshwater and saltwater builds. Does this help?

@arnoldl.arrington5147 Ай бұрын

You are giving ideas on my build, but i need to know which way to point the guide since one side of the large guides are looped around both sides of the guide.

@arnoldl.arrington5147 Ай бұрын

i gained a lot of information on adding the guides to my blank 2-piece rod build.

@@arnoldl.arrington5147 - as you see it in the thumbnail it should be applied to the blank. Meaning, in the thumbnail, the bottom or butt of the rod is at the bottom of the thumbnail.

Another awesome video. Are you grinding the feet on the Alps guide before wrapping it? I couldn't tell if you did. Keep the videos coming, they're very helpful.

@reelbluecustomrods 11 ай бұрын

Sometimes I do and sometimes I do not. It just depends on the guide feet. Thank you for watching and commenting.
