Stumptown Rods
Here is a selection of guides available for custom rod builds. Contact me directly if you have a specific guide preference.
Titanium Microwave Guides
The MicroWave Line Control System is the most awarded technology in fishing tackle history with a total of 6 worldwide Best of Show innovation awards. The reason; it is the most effective and efficient line control system ever created. The very purpose of line guides are to capture loose line coming off of a reel and control it during the cast efficiently allowing the rod and angler to perform at their best. Combining science and practical application, the MicroWave Line Control System captures and controls line immediately in the first guide and throughout the cast with total line control. The results are improved rod reaction and better angler performance.
Titanium Recoil Guides
REC introduces a revolutionary new material for rod guides. RECOIL GUIDES (US PATENT 6,612,065) are made from a special nickel titanium alloy with unique physical properties which provide exciting new possibilities for rod designers worldwide. Until now, rod guides have been plated or have used ceramic inserts to provide wear resistance. RECOIL guides are made from an extremely hard but flexible "Shape Memory" alloy, which does not require plating, cannot corrode in any environment, and returns to its original shape after repeated deformations.
Black Aluminum Microwave Air Guides
The MicroWave Line Control System is the most awarded technology in fishing tackle history with a total of 6 worldwide Best of Show innovation awards. The reason; it is the most effective and efficient line control system ever created. The very purpose of line guides are to capture loose line coming off of a reel and control it during the cast efficiently allowing the rod and angler to perform at their best. Combining science and practical application, the MicroWave Line Control System captures and controls line immediately in the first guide and throughout the cast with total line control. The results are improved rod reaction and better angler performance. These are lighter weight and feature a ring less design compared with the titanium Microwave Guides
Fuji K Series SiC Guides
Fuji GMKLSG tangle-free guides feature a no-weld compact flared frame that exceeds ring diameter allowing looped line tangles to slip forward and release automatically. SiC inserts are abrasion resistant, smooth, and light. Slightly forward ring angle promotes fast self-starting tangle release. GMKLSG guides work well with mono, braid and fluorocarbon lines. CC Corrosion Control Gunmetal frame, SiC ring.
American Tackle RingLock A-Frame Guides
American Tackle Ring Lock™ guides are designed for the ultimate in performance and durability. They incorporate a system of pressure fit, enlarged glue reservoir and increased contact area around the ceramic ring to dramatically reduce ring failure. Added bracing and unique frame features greatly reduce ring popping lateral torque through a more stable frame. ATLAS 316SS™ frame material adds tremendous strength to weight ratio giving this series of guides the edge to outlast and outperform all others.
