For 2025 Batson has introduced an upgrade to the thread carriage for Alps and Forecast Power Rod Wrappers. The THREAD CARRIAGE UPGRADE significantly enhances carriage operation by utilizing the internal track rollers in tandem with external bearing rollers which are offset 90 degrees. The result is a much more stable, and smoother-operating thread carriage. The unit also features a pin for remounting the ceramic line guide. A tip top can be installed in place of the forward line guide if desired (shown in photo). We recommend a series SU tip top model with a size 10 ring and size 10.5 tube. Hardware and instructions are included.
