I built my first rod wrapper (you can have it if you want it), I found it difficult to work on longer rods and time consuming. I purchased 3 of the Clemens rod supports (see pic) and love them. I use them in my office on an old kitchen table for my thread work. I use them down in the basement when it comes time to put the finish on or in the early stages of sanding handles. I find it so much more versitle and not quite as pricey as one of those expensive rod jigs.
You can buy those some rollers shown on my supports from Clemens separately, if you wanted to incorporate them into your own design. The rod in the picture is a 7foot6inch Lamiglass TiMC90H (titanium wrap you can see just ahead of the foregrip) I'm working on now. Just finished up a 7 foot spinning rod for plastic and this one will be for dragging eels, light jigs and some cod fishing. If you were building 1 piece rods much longer, I might even want a 4th support.
Good luck and tight lines.
