Abstract
A fishing rod wrapping device consisting of a fixed frame adapted to support one or more spools of wrapping thread for axial rotation, a friction device resisting rotation of said spool whereby thread may be paid out therefrom under a controlled and adjustable tension, a support for a fishing rod adapted to support the rod in parallel relation to the spool, so that the thread, when attached to the rod, is wrapped on the rod when the rod is manually rotated about its axis, the rod support being configurated to maintain the rod parallel to the spool, to retain the rod thereon despite any degree of thread tension, and to permit locking of the rod against movement relative to the spool whenever interruption of the wrapping process may be desired, whereby to preserve both the rod position and the thread tension until the process is recommenced.
