Read that first and see if it makes sense. He uses a split diamond for his Demo, Chevrons are even easier.

Lay out the same as a diamond wrap but after the first thread , lay down the thread on only two sides , not all 4. basic Chevrons are the easiest patterns to make IMO but you can get very complicated if you want with reversing them and spacing them so they close down and eventually form both Chevrons and diamonds , etc. thread art is cool! :)

Mike and anyone else who has this - feel free to email me at vivonab@colsonservices.com and I'll try and walk you through the steps and the various features.

I'd like to hear what you think of the program after some use. I tested it for Dave, and am a computer programmer, so it was very easy to use right off the bat.

BMr. - I have no problem helping, but please try NOT to snap your pretty rod in 2. I ge tthe feelig the Cape will be seeing some Pretty in Pink wraps very shortly. They'll probably match the Billy 40 NY version of Gay Rail Yam Pink rods. lol. Make sure you speak with MikeCC as well.

thanks Billy. I wanted some thing else I dont know the name.
But I ant to do up a Gay rod to match up to My sissy reel:D
board I guess, I wrap plain and the rods work most fine, they be stressed tested and guides placed proper;
I fU got any how to sites that would Be cool. I can do a diamond but thats it cause I never read up on it.
I actually hate making rods now, But need to wrap My own cuz I want it My way:smash: the rods dont say 1083 so I guess Im safe:smash:

Here's a variation on the chevron, which I agree is the easiest pattern to follow and close.http://www.ledgerunnerbaits.com/buttwrap.jpg
