Bamboo Fly Rods, Phoenix Silk Fly Line, Furled and Braided Leader, and Bamboo Fly Rod Building Components Including Nickel Silver Ferrules, Portuguese Cork Grips, Nickel Silver Agate Stripping Guides, Exotic Wood Reel Seat Inserts, and Nickel Silver Winding Checks

Brasstown Creek has been making bamboo fly rods for over six years.  While building these bamboo fly rods, we were constantly searching for quality hardware and components at the best possible price.  It took a lot of work and a lot of time, but Brasstown Creek was very successful.  So successful, in fact, that we decided to take what we found over the years and make those hardware and component items available to rod builders at reasonable prices - many with great discounts.  We at Brasstown Creek are proud of our products and we only sell what we will use ourselves.

We now offer our customers Agate Stripping Guides, 18% Nickel Silver Ferrules, Nickel Silver Ferrule Plugs, Portuguese Cork Handles, Nickel Silver Reel Seats, Wood Inserts, 18% Nickel Silver Hexagonal Winding Checks, Guides, Hook Keepers, Tip Tops, YLI Silk Wrapping Thread, Rod Tubes (powder coated aluminum), and Rod Socks.  We also offer Phoenix Silk Fly Line and both Braided Leader and Furled Leader.

Much of the hardware and components Brasstown Creek offers, particularly Agate Stripping Guides, Nickel Silver Ferrule, Nickel Silver Reel Seats, Silk Wrapping Thread and Rod Tubes are well known brand names.  But wherever we can, we also offer high quality products carried under Brasstown Creek’s own name at deep discounts to you.  Among Brasstown Creek’s brand of discounted hardware and components are 18% Nickel Silver Ferrules, Portuguese Cork Handles, and Agate Stripping Guides.  You know the quality of the brand names; we think you will be just as happy with our own items.  The choice is yours! 

Brasstown Creek offers a generous satisfaction guarantee (please see our Warranty page) so you will feel comfortable buying from us.

We continue to update our selection of bamboo fly rod building hardware and components, so please check back with us.

Brasstown Creek also offers an expanding information page.  Included is a very detailed sequence of photographs showing how to attach feruled leader and braded leader to silk fly line using silk wrapping thread.  We also share information on heat treating bamboo, a discussion on fly rod modulus, a short history of Nickel Silver alloy, and a table on fly line weight along with a number of other topics.  A recent addition is a detailed demonstration of setting up a series of three dip tubes (for simultaneously dipping your bamboo fly rod's butt and both tips) along with reversible, variable speed extraction motors.
