 Knurled The narrow, knurled check is
the most popular genre of nickel silver winding checks in the world.
Our twist? This check, like its un-knurled counterpart below, is
essentially a slice out of the stepped portion of the geometry
of our Broad Winding Check.
 Plain These checks are the ultimate
in a subtle transition-understated elegance. You're making rods
because you can make them better, so for goodness sakes avoid those
hideous molded rubber winding checks and put a little nickel silver
on your next custom rod.
 Broad Crafted from solid nickel silver
bar stock in a style reminiscent of traditional "tapers" which
transitioned from the large diameter of the grip to the smaller
diameter of the rod blank. Perfect for engraving!
 Tiered Tiered, externally tapered winding
checks with a delicate knurl on the upper tier have their historical
basis in one of the classic rod shops that irrupted from the Leonard-Kosmic
tradition: Fred Thomas's shop. It's one of our favorite historic
designs!
 Swoop The swoop check is another original
design that stemmed from the desire for an exceptionally narrow
check that would still cap off a finely tapered reverse half wells
grip with distinction.
 Mirror Polish : We have the ability to offer you a true mirror finish - absolutely brilliant, jewelry grade glint & glitter. Rodmakers who have seen our first run of these hyper-polished seats have been impressed with the shine and many have also commented that they like the effect polishing has on some of the hard edges and crisp knurls - every detail is softened just a little so these pieces not only look like true rod jewelry, they feel like it. Forego the mess of polishing at home; get our Mirror Polish. $3.00 up charge is discountable.
Natural Polish : It's polished, but not screaming, making it great for rods that will be fished over finicky fish; the subtle glow does not glint and glare in the sunlight. All of our seats come with this finish unless you designate mirror polish.
