Thread

The vast majority of rods are built with black whippings and metallic trim bands of various colours around the reel seat. However, if you are looking for something different to finish your rod off in a unique build then why not have different colour whippings such as gun metal, olive green, or burgundy. The choice is yours, there are various colours of thread in solid colours or metallic available.


Collars, winding checks, and butt caps

Stainless steel collars and butt caps look great and are very robust. Or you may prefer a more ‘stealth’ black look to your rods, in which case black delrin collars are the one. Both produce a fantastic finish. I use collars designed specifically for Fuji and Alps reel seats, and can source various items from Harrison, Solar, Alps, and free spirit. If you have a preference just ask.


Numbered sections and decals

If you would like numbers on your rod sections there are various ways to do it, from simple numbers (1 2 3), roman numerals (I II III), dots, or trim bands within the whippings.

If you would like a name or inscription on your rods this is also possible.
