There are many options available for your hex, quad, or r-quad rods. These include:
Bronze reel seat hardware
Nickel reel seat hardware
My custom reel seats.
These are the ones shown with rope knurling. Straight,
fine knurl is another option. Made in
bronze or nickel silver hardware. Additional cost $165. (Check how I finish
out my reel seats -- multiple coats of hard varnish; also, I put in an
internal taper on the slide band so it doesn't dig into the reel seat wood
and will slide on the reel foot better.)
F. E. Thomas style winding check hook keeper. Additional cost
$85.

of the F. E. Thomas
style optional hook keeper that I make. It is shown on a
quad rod,
but it is also available for hex
rods
Here is my custom signature wrap (left). Blued hardware on reel seat. I like the
look of this rod.
