Title says all, tried a few searches but can't find anything? I've seen some nice rods in the Showcase with invisible wraps. I'm thinking about doing this, ok I want invisible wraps on my next rod. How do I do it? Light white thread or something?
I appreciate any help very much!
Thank you,
Charlie

Check the pinned topics in the Bamboo Rods-General section. Nice tutorial there.

Thank you very much, just checked it out. Cool stuff.
How well do the wraps hold up? Just as good as regular wrapping? Would it be ok to do this on a 7 wt?
It is regular wrapping. On bamboo, most builders use silk. On graphite, you can get the same/similar effect using white nylon. Of course, there's no reason why you can't use silk on a graphite rod....
