Rod Builder's Adhesive-Backed Measuring Tape & Conversion Chart

This tape lives on my wrapper now. It's eight feet of clear, easy-to-read markings, and the conversion charts for guide sizes, temperature and length save me from looking things up mid-build. The laminated vinyl holds up to epoxy and cleans right up with alcohol. Cheap and genuinely useful.

Boughtthis to stck on a piece of wood for building rods. It i perfect and makes marking blanks a lot easier. Easy t read and very durable. must have going to b buildin rods.

Great for the edge of your work bench. The guide measurements on the tape are very helpful for quick measurement. I always brush my leftover epoxy on the tape measure so I never have to worry about scratches, if you have a work bench or table I definitely recommend it.

Easy to read easy to install

Just what I needed. Purchased for my CRB Pro G2

Extremely irritated as I write this, after having to order a replacement guide for a friends rod for the third time because I assumed the guide ring size chart was actually drawn to size. The guide is cheap but the shipping cost @$5.99 and another week that my buddy won’t have his favorite rod is what’s got me upset. Becoming more and more unimpressed with crb’s gimmicky tools. Here’s a pic of a size ten guide held up to sizing chart

I use this on every rod that I build!

Awesome

Works perfect for my rod buikding projects.

This was the first item from CRB that I was really disappointed with. I previously purchased the CRB Ultimate Power wrapper kit and wanted to add an adhesive measuring tape to the track and thought this would be the perfect addition. After I rolled it out and stuck it down to the track I thought it was odd that it hung over the edge of the 8 foot track. I took out my tape measure that I use for carpentry and laid it onto of the CRB tape and to my surprise the CRB tape was long by about 3/4" over the entire 8 foot length. The CRB tape was only accurate for a about 18" and then it was off by at least 1/4 - 3/4 of an inch over the entire length of the track. It looks good on the track but I wont be using it for guide alignment like I had hoped for. Wish I could give it more stars because I really wanted this tape to work out but a tape measure needs to be accurate and not just look good.

Awesome addition to my work bench. Nice, clean, and very functional.

I love my Adhesive Tape Measuring Tape is easy to install, it fit my Rod building bench perfectly.The tape has several different scales on it such as guide size. The most exciting feature of the Tape is it makes it a breeze to lay out the guides on your blank
No more clumsy metal Tape measures. I will recommend the Adhesive Back Tape Measure to all of my Rod building friends. Thanks for such a quality product.

Works great for making rods.

I agree with everyone who said it was inaccurate! Mine is off buy 1/4 of an inch at 4 feet and I figured out what happened. You CANNOT pull it when you’re putting it down because the material will stretch, and that’s what throw everything off. It is nice to have on the bench but I have not ordered another one yet to replace it.

Agree with Jeff. Mine was off a little more than .25 in in 47 inches. A little more than double that in 8 ft. Oh well, it's a fishing rod tool. Not building fine furniture.

The only problem I found was it come's in two pieces . This two piece design requires an overlap or cutting of the tape at the 4 foot mark . However it fits the wrapper base perfectly.

Thanks for the heads-up. Checked mine before I applied it to my power wrapper base. It was dead-on the entire length. Glad I checked though; measure twice, cut once...

3/8 inch off on 4 feet. Did my layout of guides and double checked with a tape measure and was way inaccurate. It would be the best measuring tape if it was accurate.
