Since my Doctor and Surgeon have deemed me not to be able to work looking for a hobby.

MacAttack is building rods hard?

Nope.
Not at all.
Go to this website and check out the simple starter kits.
And also look at the basic winding kit they sell.
There's also tons of videos on each product page showing how to use it, etc.

https://www.mudhole.com/

I'm not pushing that company as there are others.
But Mudhole does make it easy.

Here's a few other links on thread wrapping that my son Jeff shared with me that really show how easy it is.
The guy is using a power wrapper, but as I mentioned above, the CRB hand wrapper for only $43 works great.

For now, I'm doing simple one thread wraps on my rods.
I don't have any interested in all the crazy cool wraps.
And forget about the weaves - that's just nutz.
Have fun.
Keep us posted on how you end up.
Here's a link to the gear do it yourself thread on MFF.
There's a few threads there that you might be interested in.

Good luck.

Please, just Mac.


Hey Bob - I know you're prowling out there buddy - can you please speak to Scott about getting my screen name changed back to "Mac".
He took it from Attack to Mac Attack (my boat name) a couple years back.
Gotta be a way.
I would think.

(I've been good...……...relatively)

Send him a message.
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

Man that looks like fun, making your own rods. And maybe cost effective at some point? Especially for idiots like me that seem to lose a rod overboard every so often.

Time to come back to MFF!

Hey Mac, hows that seat base working out! I'd love to get two for the main helm seats in my boat! Be great for me on the salt. My boat can take more than my bones can!

Here's a fun season opener convo.. what do you guys like for track systems? I want to do a big upgrade to some 48" tracks on each gunwale. I run Penn riggers now but I'm thinking of the big John's when I eventually go electric. I love being able to lift the boom upwards... do any other riggers do that I should consider? Anyway, for the tracks I need something good for both applications.

I did last year.

He changed it from Attack to Mac Attack.
Better, but...…….

34's are too small Geoff.
Typically only 125 (RC) Min @ 25 Amp

Look for something at least 200

Look at 29's - they are 210

Group 34 or bust!
