Where can I get an aluminum tube - with a logo - made for two three piece spin rods.

Rod tubes? Check with REC, I'm sure they have them and you might be able to have them screen printed with whatever you want.

Another and possibly more economical way to get your logo on the tubes, is with one of the methods described in the Volume 5 #4 issue of RodMaker. You can make your own labels or have them made locally by a "FastSigns" type place, from quality vinyl, and then apply them to the tubes yourself. Or, use the Photo-Etching Technique as outlined in another past issue of RodMaker to do your own engraving right on the tube itself. Just some ideas to consider.

I am surprised you did not mention Landmark ? What about Decal Connection and then maybe coating them ? Just a thought.

You can get vinyl decals through Decal Connection. Thats where I get mine made at. They have another company that does the decals that is in assciation with them.

That's right, I forgot. Decal Connection could do the decals in vinyl (and probably much cheaper than any local sign store) and they'd last for years. You shouldn't have to coat them with anything - they're tough, durable and weather resistant.

That sounds good. I do need some for rods also Hmmmmmmm

Thanks much

Now I am doing spin rods. The Titan butt guide of #25 with blank is 2 1/4"
A 3' tube - but what do I do about a sock ? Maybe a 4 section sock and take the thread out to make 2 sections one to fit the butt guide ? A three piece rod

Anglers Workshop has had socks for my 7 ft 3 piece spinning rods when I've needed them. Also I've gotten some of the Loomis heavy corduroy or velour socks from them also. Just got a velour sock for the 7 1/2 ft 3 piece HSR 9000 blank in spinning for $5 last month.

Make your own rod socks...I do.....Just made several using synthetic leather upholstery fabric and they look SWEET. Yu choose the fabric, the color, the size...You are in complete control.

It is MUCH easier than it looks.

bILL,
Try Cabela's soft gun protective slip on sleeves, they will stretch and fit about any rod you need depending on length.
