[cool][#0000ff]I can do some creditable diamond wraps, but I quit that a long time ago when I discovered that it just took longer to get the rod on the water...and it really does not help catch more fish. Just something to look at when the fish aren't hitting.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]In truth, utwalleye is the master on BFT for doing fancy finishes on custom rods. Attached is a pic of some of his work. And, if you go over to the BFT board on [url "http://www.bigfishtackle.com/cgi-bin/gforum/gforum.cgi?forum=7;"]ROD BUILDING[/url], he is a moderator and you can probably get a lot of good help over there.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]PS...I have also attached a video file to show how the diamond wraps are made. cool.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You can also do a search engine lookup on "Making fishing rods" or "Rod wrapping" and you can find a lot of stuff.[/#0000ff]
