the whole rod building portion of this recreation is still amazing to me.
I would have no idea where to begin.

No shrink wrap, thats straight black paracord. Its very light, about the same weight as a wrap of cork tape.
The spiral wrapped cord is nice in the hand, very comfortable ribbed feeling.

Krispy,
what did you underwrap or overcoat on it to keep it in place..
I was talking to a buddy when we were on the block about doing this with some of my heavier conventionals

The first picture looks like cork tape under the cord. Is that right?

Yes, the spiral pic was a rod that was extended 5", with 2 layers of cork tape. So far I have not glued down the cord.
The black cord rod has one wrap over itself and then all the way down the rod. Its held w/ electrical tape at the handle(which Ill thread wrap and epoxy over) and held by the butt cap at the bottom. It was wrapped very tight, and the cord shrinks some after it gets a little wet to make it even tighter. It doesnt move.
One nice thing about the cord over cork, esp. on conventional jigging rods is that it doesnt wear your waders or top, and doesnt wear thin like cork tape can. It also glides over clothing, wear cork tape pulls at your sleeves or legs when shifting positions.
Next Im gonna try doing a full cord wrap over an inner spiraled length of cord, using 2 colors for the over wrap

Cool..
how much chute cord did you use (lengthwise) to wrap? (roughly..)
Looks like a good post holiday project...
cool idea..
and looks less slippery than cork tape when you have S--D Scales on your hands  |

Maybe 15-20ft for the full butt wrap, 4-5ft for the spiral. They sell tons of colors too |
