I am trying to decide on hardware for my next fly rod build and was wondering if anybody had any experience with all of the different finishes. It is just too tough to tell on computer screens. Would bombay gold guides look good with gold hoods on the reel seat . . . can't find any reel seats with bombay finish.
Thanks for any input! Re: Gold vs. Bombay Gold vs. TiCh Gold

Experiences with the many different finishes go much furthur than initial appearance. Is your rod intended for salt water use? Re: Gold vs. Bombay Gold vs. TiCh Gold

What you might do is decide what company you plan to buy from and ask them. Have your dealer go into his bins and match up the right color shades. Most of the dealers listed to the left would be happy to do this for you. Service is what most of them are all about.

I am building an 8' 6" freshwater fly rod . . . i guess i get a little too picky with purposely matching finishes. I am holding out on a reel just for this very reason, but i guess the shade of gold on the reels is a whole other animal. My wife tells me i am too picky . . . well maybe.
