Merrick Tackle/Summermoon carry several gold aluminum versions by two different japanese companies. Golden Witch will make you a real gold plated nickel silver winding check if you really want to part with some cash. Gold thread over epoxy ramp. Gold paint over other color winding check. Gold tinted epoxy check. Gold chain in epoxy. Gold leaf over/in epoxy. Gold wire wrapped around blank. Gold toe ring (Panama jack at Walmart). Various types of gold rings from searching a craft store like cheap wedding bands for every guest at a wedding party, part of the large gold snaps for clothing, etc. Steal a ring from your lady friend and wrap it on. Those have all worked for me this past year (except the real jewelry grade winding check from Golden Witch).

I ended up looking at the craft shops in their jewlery making section and found something that worked great for the rod i'm building for my son. It was a small rope twist 9.47 (mm ID) that was 24 carat gold plated and cost me $2.00. I had to clip off the small loop that was soldered on to attach it to a charm braclet or whatever it was going to used for. This took about 2 seconds and the mark it left was so small as to be negligable. Just a thought...

We have the gold Colored along with other color winding checks also. A number of varieties.


You can see them here. [www.merricktackle.com]

They are not as costly as you may think looking at the pics and are generally in stock.
