Megabass Butt

Hi guys,

I saw a megabass rod with the indented, copper nameplate in the butt. Is there any way I'd be able to do that on my customs??

Cheers,

Nick

If you mean in the butt cap, that's usually just a matter of gluing the plate or disc down and then using epoxy or polyester casting resin to fill in a recess.

Trophy shops and many other places can Lazer engrave just about anything.

I have also done it with small letter stamps used for making jewelry with. I use the same to make pulls on rod socks.

For those of you wondering, of course I meant butt cap...

Looks a bit like this and they're really impressive up close.

I think engraving is the easy part, how do I go about getting the resin/rubber/eva housing around it?

Cheers Guys,

Nick

If you're working with a metal housing there is really no need to encapsulate it with anything. However, if you want it in a rubber type butt cap, choose one with a recess and inset the engraved disc in it with epoxy, followed by pouring in a bit of either finish epoxy or regular polyester casting resin.
