Soft touch match

Can anyone advise on fighting butts and hood covers that would match the NFC soft touch grips? Fighting butt for fly and hoods to match 3k soft touch.

Thanks

The Fuji CTC Carbon thread covers in matte twill is a perfect match for the NFC 3K Soft Touch CF grips. They come is various sizes to fit the various Fuji hidden thread hoods. However, the matte twill CF hood sleeves are hard to find, but Anglers Resource does have them available to supply the various rod building outlets. I think VooDoo Rods may have them in stock, but not sure. As far as a matching CF fly rod fighting butt, I don’t know of any. I don’t think NFC sells the soft touch fighting butt by itself. I guess you might be able to make one using the Fuji CF hood sleeve. The OEM carbon fiber grips at Mudhole are a match for the NFC 1K soft touch grips. AmTac has a G2 matte 3K hood sleeve that matches the NFC 1K soft touch grips (go figure). Might be able to use one of these.
