I put a "Chevron" wrap on the butt of this one...slightly
different but more or less made the same way as a cross /
diamond wrap - you just only lay down thread on one side of
the original first line. Since this was another teal-dyed
reel seat, I already knew the best wraps for this one would
be virtually the same as what I had done on Rod
#17.
Also, and perhaps more importantly, I made the wraps for
the hook keeper SEPARATE from the wraps that bind down the
decorative thread work. This way, if the hook keeper ever
needs to be repaired, I don't have to potentially destroy
the cross wrap to do the repairs. Why didn't I think of that
before?!
