A wrapping device for placement on a support surface to wind thread onto elongated rod or section blanks of fishing poles to affix component parts therealong and for decorative purposes. The wrapping device includes a wrapping support saddle with a support base for placement on the support surface. A pair of support uprights are movably mounted to the support base in a spaced relationship to accommodate rod and section blanks of differing lengths. The support uprights have respective wrapping saddles to selectively rotatably support the rod and section blanks of fishing poles. The support uprights also allow hands-free stopping of winding of the thread while under tension by securing the rod or section blanks to prevent unwrapping of the thread. The support uprights project forwardly toward a user and each is of a height for placement on the support surface of a table to position the rod and section blanks of the fishing poles in a comfortable horizontal wrapping position. A thread delivery system is movably mounted to the support base for dispensing and guiding the thread under a desired constant tension onto the rod blank. One or more constant tension springs engage the thread and deflect during winding so as to maintain the desired constant tension on the thread when winding is stopped. The wrapping device further includes a steady rest which includes a base member for placement on the support surface and an upright member affixed thereto which supports the rod or section blanks of longer lengths.
