Rod Wrapping Jig and Dryer
Here's a simple wrapping jig and rod finishing dryer I built.
Dryer in Use
Here is the dryer in use. It's used to slowly rotate the rod after finish has been applied to the thread wraps, to prevent sags or drips in the epoxy finish.
Finished Flyrod
Here's a finished Product...an 8 weight G. Loomis flyrod, built for Steelhead fishing. This is a 9 foot, fast action rod, assembled with titanium single foot guides, a Struble up-locking reelseat with a curly maple insert, detachable fighting butt, and high quality cork grip.
