In the book I mentioned all the examples for the underwraps were for very heavy boat rods.
I was not sure if I should extend it to a 8wt. Wrapping rods in the winter gives you ample of time to play around

Rene,
I also would recommend not doing the underwraps....I really don't see the need for them unless for aesthetics....and I've built up to 12 wt rods, without using them with no problems.

Tony, Allan, Iain, Dean, thanks for your help and advice. From your replies I learned a lot more than from the book I had!
I think I will go without the under-wraps.
