CRB PRO Power Wrapper Kit
Product Details
Transform your rod building bench into a complete custom rod shop with the CRB PRO Power Wrapper Kit. Built for hobbyists and professional builders alike, the RBS-PRO system combines power, precision, and versatility in one professional-grade package, giving you the tools and workspace needed to build, wrap, and finish custom rods with greater efficiency and control.
At the heart of the system is the RBS PRO G2 Power Wrapper & Dryer, featuring a variable-speed motor, indexed chuck, and integrated drying motor for handling everything from guide wrapping and decorative thread work to applying and curing finish. The indexed chuck provides 15-degree positioning increments for accurate spiral wraps and decorative layouts, while interchangeable concave and convex teeth securely hold a wide range of rod blanks and mandrels.
The G2 also features a chuck holding-power adjustment set screw located on the backside of the chuck. Using an Allen wrench, builders can make fine adjustments to the chuck's holding power to dial in the grip for different rod blanks and mandrels. This added adjustment gives builders even more control when securing their work.
The kit also includes three CRB-RS Roller Stand Rod Supports for smooth, stable rod support and the RBS-TC2 Two-Spool Rolling Thread Carriage. The carriage glides smoothly along the track while keeping two thread spools organized and under controlled tension. Built-in tool magnets, a tension rod, and guide tray help keep essential tools and thread organized and within easy reach.

This is a great tool to have. Make rod building more fun and professional!
The CRB power wrapper works great. It has all the features you need to cut and shape handles, sand unfinished rods, wrapping, decorative thread work, rod finishing, and drying. The chuck is clearly stamped with the associated degrees for orientation and chevron
wrapping. I saw a review that the rollers were not great. As long as they are set correctly (which is super simple) they work great. The kit will only do an 8’ rod. So if you need to do long than 8’ you will need an extra aluminum base piece.
I took forever to decide which wrapper I was gonna get. I looked at the hff and alps as other options, but really liked the tension rod on the thread Carraige. I also heard good things from the well known builders and decided to buy it. The Carraige moves smooth across the base and the magnets on it is nice. I upgraded the awfull springs to the alchemy magnets and they are great. The wrapper itself is smooth and easy to control and I like how it shows the output. The pedal is good but gets a tad hot if you just hold it down, not a big deal. The chuck is nice, the rubber moves a little but is still a very secure fit. The base is nice, annoying to put together and a tad heavy but smooth and low to the ground. Now the stands........ what a sad excuse of engineering. You could grab a block from lowes slap it on your base and it would hold the rod better. It moves everywhere (even when I took the springs off), it is a pain to adjust and never stays, in bends under any sort of preasure, and the rod would always pop out of it. I just got the jermey reed stands at hff and they are a absolute dream compared to the hunk of garbage I was using. Overall, I really enjoy the ease of using this wrapper and if they tweaked the stands I would say it is close to perfect.
Love the G2 power wrapper l’m still working on my first rod.
I would like to thank Hunter for all his help.
And a shout out to Chris and the other Hunter for their YouTube videos
I’m going to try to be fair with this review because I am still getting used to it.
Let me start with saying, I love working with it! The fact that I can adjust the speed have a digital readout to correspond with the speed I am comfortable with is amazing. Also it was easy to set up and felt high quality from the get go. The fact that the track is wider than my old one is a plus as well as some of the parts from the old one (ALPS) work on this one. Such as the thread carriage and tensioner which means I can have two thread set ups and it makes my life easier. The black finish makes it easier to write on and mark measurements so I can make consecutive rods without having to re-measure for each one.
The only wrinkle I really see is the rollers. The rollers themselves are good it’s their base that had me a little disappointed. If you could redesign them to be a little sturdier as well as lock in place better while keeping the ease of moving them, that would put this wrapper in a league of its own.
The thread tension knob does not stay tight.
Began this review with a star rating of 3, may improve when I familiarize with the unit over time. A few notables for the rating are as follows: insufficient setup and operating instructions, this equipment assumes everyone is an “ A Lister in rod building, not so. Youtube vid would certainly earn high marks… pls advise if there is one, y’all have my email. Moving on, the rollers on the stands are leaving a residue line on the blank, seems to clean up but shouldn’t happen. The stands seem kinda flimsy, CRB I believe could design a better looking and ridgid piece and still come in line with profits per unit. Anyhow… Im committed to continue rod building and repair and y’all are my source for supplies and know how! Thanks, G. Mendoza, Miami , Fl
I have enjoyed using this wrapper. It works nicely.
I’m a life long fisherman who has had the opportunity to create a lot of memories in salt and freshwater. I’ve fished with many rods, from high end to rods I used sewing thread to secure broken guides. I’m so jazzed that I can make my own and this machine performs excellent.
I have had a few rod wrappers over the years and I’ll be 76 next month. This wrapper has everything a rod builder needs to create great rods. It is a very solid wrapper with a quiet motor along with a finishing motor. I’m very satisfied with this wrapper.
I love how I can do both decorative and fast wrap with the power wrapper
I really like it. It’s easy to use and makes wrapping guides fast and clean.
This has really improved my rod wrapping game
Still learning this profuct but it seems like a good piece of equipment and shipping and delivery were seamless.
Rod dryer motors are junk, used it for 2 rods and quit working, the rod stands are flimsy and cheap, the wrapper motor never holds speed, you have to constantly turn the speed adjustment knob to get it to move or slow it back down, and it smells like burnt electrical components constantly, the foot pedal sucks to use its 3 inches off the ground, only good thing about it is the chuck
CRB PRO Power Wrapper Kit
Very disappointed was the worst $700 I ever spent don't even have a reverse . to get it to move you got to have it turned clear up put the pedal through the floor then when it does move it takes off about 500 RPM LOL I do not recommend this piece of s***
Once you get it figured out. It's a great tool to have
This should make it far easier than hand wrapping!
Bad review on the pro wrapper again the pole stands sucks
Bought this power wrapper for my wife to upgrade her setup for rod building and repairs and it works great. No complaints.
