A couple of years ago I bought a custom rod that was made by some guy in Cleveland, Tennessee. The handle in all this guy's rods has alternating cork and a dark gray material that appears to be graphite or some form of plastic...it is definately not cork. I really loved this handle. I would love to find out where to get this material and make similar handles of my own. Has anybody heard of this stuff and where one might get some? Re: graphite rings in handle

Check the OD measurement of it. I don't know if the rings will fit onto it.
Also try a search of this board. There were some posts of places to buy tubes of material. Also try a search of your ISP. Just type in the material you are looking for like graphite tubes, and it Should give many places to look. Some thing else that might help - [www.customtackle.com] Edited 2 time(s).

graphite arbors shaped to fit with the cork a great amount of builders have done this to create better sensitivity to the rod. many sponsers on the side have these in stock i have done this before on smaller rods like my perch rods you can almost detect every little nibble.......just look for reel seat arbors Re: graphite rings in handle

Steve, could the dark rings be some sort of gasket material? Or material used to add accent to knife handles?
