Sorry guys but i am posting a repeat. I have a client who wants a metal silver butt cap on the butt of a cork handle spinning rod I am building. It looks like the one's on pages 144 and 145 in advanced custom travel. I remember all my rods when i was a kid had them. I have looked every where and all i can find is cork, foam or black rubber. It's really just a silver cup.Where can i find one does anyone have any idea. Thanks too all in advance!!!!!!!!!!

Probably not made any longer. Your best bet will be to make one or have a buddy or someone at a machine shop turn one for you.

There might also be a possibility that you could find something used to cap chair or table legs that could be modified to suit your purpose.

Maybe you can find some thing in a cabinet door pull or handle. The ones at home depot may be able to be modified ? has some weight but may help with the balance ??

Same, we have the Chrome one also. (It's chrome over brass) Can probably get you a nickel silver one though. Price difference is significantly higher, but it is available. Call or e-mail for more information and pricing.
