Hello
Can't find any website on line for the Sully's rod Wrapper.
Don't know if they are out of business.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
Also, If anybody has one they would sell, shoot me a note.
Thank's
Thomas

3 or 4 years ago, I talked to Doug Hall, who I believe has the rights to the Sully Wrapper, and he told me they would at some point be back in production, but had no idea about the time frame. So, I just made up a couple of them from photos of the original. The ones I made were of hard maple (scraps left over from another project) and quite a bit larger and heavier than the originals. Made a few changes also. One of the most difficult parts of the process was finding the right size music wire to use and getting the bends in it satisfactorily.
Made one for myself and one for a good friend. NOT going to make any more.....

Doug called me one day a year or two ago, and said he had them available again, but since I made my own, didn't need another. Lost my contact info for Doug, but am sure it's out there somewhere. If you feel like making one, I can text you some pictures taken as I built them.

I have a JW rod wrapper it is excellent. Costs more though. A potential option.

I spoke with Doug Hall about the availability of the Sully wrapper until I was blue in the face. Never got anywhere with that device, although I did get several photos and advice from bmwmoa67707 on how to build one. Moved on to other devices that have worked well for me since then...
