Looking to find out where I can find these colored o rings for tennessee handles on ice rods.

Check the suppliers on the left

Jerry,
What were you planning to use the O rings for? Were they going to be part of the grip, or were the O rings going to be used for something else.

I have built large numbers of ice rods and have never used any O rings in the build of the rods. I was just curious as to the purpose of O rings on ice rods.

If you are talking about using something to hold reels to ice rods, I just use electrical tape to tape the reels to the rods.

There are rods with Tennessee handles that use various sorts of slip rings - either metal or graphite that are used to hold the reels in place.

As Bill stated, the suppliers on the left have the slip rings available for Tennessee handles, if this is what you are asking about.

Good luck
Roger

I'm sorry I must not be clear enough. i have seen some I ice rods with colored o rings on them to secure the reel rather than to tape them. It just gave the rod a different look than black electricai tape. I am not talking about the slip rings. I found some rubber o rings today at our mantainence shop at work. I filed down a couple grooves in the bottom of my reel and rolled the o rings onto them. Seems to hold it pretty good. Just looking for something different than everybody elses.
