Materials

There are thousands of different rod blanks available in graphite, fiberglass, composites and bamboo. There are dozens of guide styles and finishes and hundreds of reel seats that can be used. The combinations of grip materials and colors as well as colors for thread are nearly limitless. Decorative butt wrap patterns and weaves are available.

I have listed the manufacturers of the materials which I frequently use, but special requests will be accommodated if possible. Please contact me for more information.
