I like using the butterfly type rod rest heads but the problem is i keep stripping or breaking the threaded part as it is made of plastic/nylon. What type of rod rest do you use and why and does anyone know where i can get the one i like with a brass or alloy thread.
Thanks in advance.  atb malc It's not the size that counts it's the beauty.

I have the type you refer to, had them for years, virtually indestructable. You can get them in three sizes from any of the Mal Storey shops or try t'internet.
ATB Mark. |

Why do you need a rod rest mate? You don't usually have time to put your rod in it.

Nice design bob, not sure about the colours!

Wurzel,
Oh sorry - that's my extrovert version. The latex insert (the pink) can be changed for whatever colour you want. The head - well it's a night fishing thang. Have a set of black with blue inserts, but prefer the whites day or night. The 'Barbel God' has a pair of these of some vintage (with black inserts). Cheers Bob |

Yep, homemade like some of me other bits.
Paul - don't feel left out think they were only given to Barbel God (Dick), Andy T and my fishing buddy Paddy. Maybe I'll work on a few new ones for the opening of season - then who knows. I also do a non slip one for the rod butt - these are a different shape altogether. Ken - just saw your post. A development hopefully to redress some of the shortcomings of available rod rest heads at the time - must go back at least a few years if not longer. Think it was in fairly early years of Bfw. Cheers Bob |

it looks like an attachment for an I-pod, not an I-power
Where on earth did it come from? Ahh, you've answered. I've made my rear rest slip proof by gluing a thin slither of black cork foam in there to increase the surface tension. |

I cant fault the Fox Front Runner Rod Rest Head.
Front runner I've been using them for a few seasons now, I like the simple design. You can also fit Isotopes in them for night fishing if you so wish. |
