Custom Fly Rod Options
JP Ross custom options guide
Anatomy of a Fly Rod:
Customization Options:

Hand Inscriptions:
The inscription can be anything from your initials to your favorite quote, or even to: dad, love: mom. It' is totally up to you.
Cork Grips & Handles:
All our custom fly rods have cork grips or cork handles. Different terms to describe the same component.
Grips are made of high grade "flor" cork and are very smooth with minimal amount of filler so they will feel soft and smooth and hopefully last for a long time.

7 inch full wells

7 or 6 inch cigar grip




Reel Seats & Wood Options:
Our Reel Seats are all made in the USA by REC components. We have been doing business with REC for 18 years and I really think that JP Ross would not be who we are without them.
We have many woods to choose from and all of our woods are impregnated which means that they are stable and will not chip and fall apart. They also will not absorb moisture as fast as un-stablized or fresh cut wood.
All our reel seats are machined, then tumbled to remove burrs, then cleaned, then anodized or polished. The tolerances on our reel seat are very tight and you will find very little slop on our threads and captures, unlike imported junk that has machine marks on it and will allow your reel to wobble even when completely tightened.
