book

I have a friend that showed me the basic and I went from there. I have made 15 rods to date. I have learned a couple of things from experance. I also went to a class at MikeCC place a week or so ago. I picked up some nice tips from him and the other guys there.
I have wanted to learn how to do a Diamond wrap for a long while now, and when I was at the class Mike told me a couple of things and e-mailed me a bunch of pic step by step on how to do the wrap. As you can see it worked out great and was pretty easy.

Good luck with your rod! And if you have any problems post them here The guys here will answer them for you.

If any one needs the step by step diamond jpeg let me know it's a big file so if you dont have a cable modem it will be a while for the down load.
