Saving money

This is going to save me money and time. No waiting on someone else to fix my rods anymore

First time DIYer

This hand wrapper station helped make quick work of a guide replacement. It was easy enough for my 6 year old to use! I would have made a mess and the end result would not look nearly as good without this device. Great value for someone trying to keep old fishing rods up and running!

Hand wrapping

The Hand Wrapper works great and as advertised. The only issue I have
is the spring tensioner tightens as I wrap. I’ll try some Teflon washers to see if they solve this minor annoyance.

All You Need

This is a no nonsense must have item to get anyone started in rod building. Regardless of knowledge or skill level this is the first item in you need in your shopping cart.
Of course the magnifier helps us more vintage fellows!

works

It's the cheapest option you can get without it being unusable. The blank tends to slide when you want to speed up, forcing you to go slow, making your wraps a little better. I bought another baseplate so I can have a larger area to wrap, highly recommend it.

Great little wrapper!

I was a little on the fence about buying it.

I was looking for a light and portable wrapper to transport with me when I am not at home due to other obligations.

Was a very pleasant surprise:
This little lightweight wrapper is absolutely perfect for that task.
Light, sturdy, and versatile, I really like and appreciate the third support.

I am extremely happy with this purchase!
I would absolutely recommend.
Can’t go wrong for the price!

I would also like to thank Mud Hole and their staff for the great service!

My first hand wrapper

Needed a rod holder for wrapping to repair some broken eyelets. This wrapper was extremely easy to set up and videos provided by Mud Hole made my first two rod repairs (replacing eyelets) went off without a hitch. THANKS!!!!!!!!

Works well

I bought this so i could repair a few rods, and for future repairs, so I didnt really feel a power wrapper was needed/worth it. Works well, and I am a complete beginner.

Great piece of equipment!

Super simple to set up and use. Great construction and durability

Disappointed

I bought this so I could continue to build rods while on vacation. First , there were no instructions included in the box. The spindle for the thread is too short for standard 650 yard spool. The bases are so light weight that it is impossible to do wraps like ferrules or tip tops because the tension pulls the rod down and the bases up. It may work if the bases are camped down. Very disappointed in this product and that the videos and descriptions online don't mention any of the restrictions (spool size, and end wraps).
