Gold winding check ??

I have a client that wants a gold winding check in front of the fore grip.
Any ideas for a source for a gold colored winding check?

Thanks much
Roger

Roger, I know that I've seen one or two sponsors respond to similar requests before. Can't remember, though... Neal's Fishing???

Maybe try a search using "Gold winding check" for your search...

The Matagi winding checks (HTWC) that Merrick stock are pretty nice, a bit expensive, but they look great.

I have heard of using toe rings fore winding check's. I have not tried it yet but it may be an option to look into.

Roger,
Angler's Workshop, who is a sponsor at the left, carries them made from gold anodized aluminum.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot and check out the nuts and bolts section and find metal washers, you shold find what you want.

I have cut down brass fittings for gold winding checks, but as of late use gold metalic thread to finish without any winding check. MB

Wells,
Thanks much.
That was the conclusion that I came to. I ordered a couple different sizes gold checks from Merrick. They came today and will work very well indeed.
Nice shape and shine.
Take care
Roger
