If your debating it, just do it! I learned on a hand wrapper. I knew I could build and be more proficient with a power wrapper. This wrapper paired with the track system and thread carriage make life so much easier. I used to have to flip the rod around to do the whole rod, now I can leave it in the wrapper and go to town. A plus when I let do of the rod it doesn't unravel the wrap I am doing. Love this thing so far!
Since switching to a power wrapper my building speed has increased and my lines are sharper with finishing. The G2 is solid!
I have been building fly rods for about 15 years and my old power wrapper finally died. I have been wanting one of these but couldn't pull the trigger until my old one died. This wrapper is worth the money, should have bought it a long time ago.
We like the speed and flexibility of this system make rod building a lot quicker and easier
This is a very nice wrapper. I wish I had purchased this earlier. It makes quick work when wrapping and epoxy work. Having the ability to go right into dryer mode is huge plus. The only thing is, I wished it came with one more roller stand and a sliding tool tray. I did purchase the CRB tool tray and I’m very disappointed in its quality.
As a new builder this Wrapper/Dryer was really easy to use. Speed variation is great and the digital display means I can set the speed the same each time the same for what I am doing. Grand product,
Un excelente producto. Sus funciones logran llevarte al siguiente nivel en la construcción y reparación de cañas.100 % recomendado
As a new builder bought this kit to start my journey in rod building.
I'd say it's a perfect kit and is well designed. Everything seems to be built with quality components. You can't go wrong with this kit.
If I could add one suggestion..... it would be a unboxing and assembly of this kit on a video link included with the kit.
I searched a ton of videos on Mudhole and couldn't find one but I may have just missed it.
I went from hand wrapping, to building a power wrapper with a sewing machine motor and a Chuck w/Pulley. That was my set up. I always looked at the G2 and thought "Man, that would be nice!" Fast forward a year or so.... friend of mine said, "You ought to by that. It will help you be more time efficient." I finally pulled the trigger and had one coming this way. Now, I don't know how I did without it! This setup has made it more productive and efficient! If you are on the fence, about it, just go ahead and do it! You won't be disappointed!
I am simply amazed, the simplicity and reliability of this machine is simply an amazing thing that makes our work easier and faster! I recommend to EVERYONE!!!!!
Love mine I use it for turning grips as well
Just completed my first rod build with the G2 Power Wrapper. Way different than the hand wrapping that I built three rods previously. This wrapper was part of the kit. Took a bit of getting used to wrapping from behind rather than the front (with hand wrapper). But quickly acclimated. Adjusting the speed setting made for quickly finding what was comfortable. Wow did it make wrapping and thread finishing quick. Edges on the thread finish are more tightly aligned vs. hand finishing. Rod centered great in the chuck. Really happy so far. As a side note, the original wrapper that came with the kit was defective and needed to be sent back. Caleb was excellent in working the issue to satisfaction. MudHole customer service is top notch.
Helps alot
Made my days easier
upgraded the complete system to crb pro from
“ other “ brand. doubled production speed, exponentially increased quality of finished product as well. Based on previous reviews it appears that someone was listening to their customers. machine performs as well or better then hoped for. Foot pedal performs as expected and controls speed and initiation easily I am personally able to set speed control at highest speed and control at slowest speed with pedal and dont have to constantly roll
from one end of bench to other to make speed adjustments comes in handy with 10’ plus downrigger and flyrods. Could not ask for more. Dave @ Sasquatch Whips
Wrapper is awesome and the bonus dryer motor makes it even more worth the money!!! Good job crb!
I owned a tackle shop in south FL and owned a few power wrappers, but this thing truly is the best ever.
Can't wait to try this !! It feels awesome!!
set up was easy and it makes short work on wrapping boat rods now working a medium spinning rod for bass

The unit seems to operating oddly. In order to get theunit to move at all the potentiometer must be adjusted wide open. At low rpm the unit seems to jitter a bit. I am not sure the unit is properly operating. I would hope that a unit that is as expensive as this one is it would operate a bit better. I am quite disappointed to tell the truth. I have a 20$ unit that i got off Temu that quite honestly works better!! That is sad. I will be even more disappointed if this review gets the same same response my question about this unit got!!! There seems to be a breakdown between sales and customer service in this organization. Hopefully this review will get a response.
With butt cap rod will work out of Three jaws chuck, heavy rubber bands over chuck arms solved.
