Isn't underwrap for salt waters?? or did I miss that one

I've read so much material my files in my head needs defraged

Yup underwraps are for salt. I use them on any rod that is getting a decorative butt wrap, It keeps the thread from sliding on the blank.

Ah I see, so is that where the Finishing or dryer motors come in?

The finishing motor spins the rod after you epoxy your work,the wrapping motor comes with a foot pedal which could rapidly spin the rod when you apply the thread.lemmme clear up something.You CAN still wrap by hand when your rod is hooked up to the motor.If you are doing a delecate wrap,simply dont use the foot pedal and turn with you hands.Like i said,i have the flex-coat set up but i believe there is a wrap/drying combo unit from Pac bay.

I have the Pac Bay Wrapper. I am happy with it. If you look around you should be able to find it with a additional dryer and stand.

Alright fellas, thanks for the info, hopefully I'll have a posting on my first rod build In Jan or Feb 09.

Now just gotta come up with a good measurement to build me a work bench that looks good so the wife won't throw it out of the house
