Reel Seats

Custom Designed Grips

The following grips are made by combining regular cork with a burl or exotic cork. Some have other materials added as well to create a unique look.

Below you will find a sampling of reel seats, grips, and guides that I use in my rod building. I use only the best components I can for your money. Any of these are available along with many others not pictured here. If you see something you like, just let me know what it is and I can incorporate into your fishing rod.

Guide Styles

Below are examples of the different guides available. Most of the styles are available in different colors. I use either Fuji or Hopkins and Holloway guides with most of my rods. I can use other manufacturers, but I believe these offer a better quality for the little extra money they cost.

Here is an example of a stripper guide with a stone agate insert. A very classy look.

A Fuji Ceramic Stripping Guide made from titanium, very durable and corrosion resistant. One of my most popular choices.

A classic style and look using traditional snake guides.

A nice alternative to the snake style guide is the single foot guide with or without a ceramic insert.
