Agate and Onyx

 Agate and Onyx Stripping Guides


Available here until I get a dedicated web page set up for my rods etc. 


$24.00 - $26.00 + 3.50 shipping in the USA


These guides are all handmade in my shop. All nickel silver frames and bezels. 

Low profile design. 


Red Agate or. Black Onyx available now. Size 9mm readily available and size 8mm micro stripping guides upon request. 


Available soon will be Honey colored Agates and Red Striped Agates also in 9 mm. 


So why 9mm? I believe this is the best size stripping guide for rods in the 4/5/6 range. The micro stripping guides would suit 2/3/4 weights. 


A post showing the steps of guide making will follow soon. Please contact me if you would like to purchase. More colors coming soon. 

Thanks for looking.
