I’ve used an American tackle power wrapper and it was very nice, it also wasn’t mine. My dislike was that if I overlapped a thread, I wasn’t able to back up a little to fix it without great effort. I really like having the big deck and the Chuck to hold the rod still. Very handy when putting coatings on as this one also had a drying setup. The wife didn’t like me covering the dining room table for a few days though. If you have the room, to me, it’s a no brainer. I’d have one if I did more rods and had more room.
