can anyone help me with a rod i am building? I am looking for a matching butt cap and forgrip hosel. I customized a sceloton seat silver in color and wood insert and really want silver hosel and butt to match.Its a spinning rod and black rubber is way too storebought looking for it. I picture a silver metal butt cap a inch or two long and straight and matching hosel in silver. Any suggestions?

Billy; Go to the Pac Bay web site and look at the Butt caps they have in their Fly reel seats section. They come in three colors Black, a Silver or tichrome color and Gold. Then if you go to the Jann's Netcraft web site and to the rod building section small parts you will find metal winding checks.

Jim the winding rings are a fit but the butt caps wont work. This is for a spinner. this is for a older client and i see what he wants on page 144 and 145 in advanced custom rod building. they are metal butt caps in a silver color. I remember having them on all my rods as a kid. Why cant i find something like them?
