Create your own custom fly rod handles. The Uplocking Rosewood handle kit includes a reel seat, a
reliable cork grip for easy handling, epoxy, and a winding check. Purchase blanks and tip tops
separately. Handle length: 11-1/4". Reel Seat Colors: Black, Gold.
Everything showed up exactly as described, but the reel seat is not yet asseembled. You need to glue it together before you can start assembling the handle kit to the rod. I would have preferred a reel seat that did not require pre-assembly. Other than that, the product was fine.
I have built 10 fly rods and used this Unlocking Rosewood Fly Rod Handle Kit on all ten. I used both the black and gold. I like the way they fit together. They really look good. They felt good when casting. The reel seat sets in the cork grip very well. Looked rich. I would recommend this Fly Rod Handle Kit for any fly rod builder. I would like to see Cabela's use this handle on their Cabela's SLi Premium Fly Rod Kit.
