I would just get one of the Flex Coat company's HW1 wrappers. It has two supports and one extra free standing support for any length rod. It also has thread tensioners and can hold 2 spools of thread. Pretty cheap too. Less than $60 but does about all any hand wrapper can do. I think I'd buy just whatever thread in the colors I wanted for that first rod. Get the Supreme finish from U40 and maybe some Rod Bond while you're at it. They also make a color preserver so you could keep it all in the same family. For me the U40 products and the Flex Coat stuff is a toss up. Both are good. First get a rod building book(nm)
