The leader in flyrod innovation
At Snake Brand Guides, we are proud of our reputation for being at the forefront of innovation and creativity. In line with our commitment to continuous improvement, we thoroughly examined the Single Foot Guides available...
Eliminates the teardrop shape, allowing for smoother, faster line travel, which enhances both casting distance and accuracy. Traditional teardrop-shaped guides from other manufacturers create pinch points at the base, restricting line flow and reducing casting performance. Additionally, their designs contribute to rod slap due to the loop's proximity to the rod blank, slowing line speed and trapping water at the base, which can lead to ice buildup in cold conditions.
Our design ensures minimal contact with the fly line, optimizing performance in all environments.
Our guides matche the wire diameter to the guide’s size and position on the rod:
#1 and #2: .030 wire
#3 and #4: .032 wire
#5 and #6: .038 wire
Strengthened from heel to toe, providing durability while ensuring smooth operation with the rod.
A gradual taper from the heel to toe allows for easier wrapping and secure attachment to the rod. This ensures our wraps will will smoothly transition from the blank to the guide’s foot and eliminates unsightly epoxy built-up.
Our burr-free stamped foot design ensures a perfect fit with the rod blank, improving performance and making it easier to install. Other manufacturers’ flat-footed guides twist and slide around on the rod’s blank. This movement often leads to loose thread wraps and results in undesirable gaps in your thread wraps.
With the expertise of a metallurgist, we optimized both core and surface hardness, ensuring longevity and reliability. The extra mile we’ve taken in refining the metals and finishing guarantees your custom rod build will be legacy piece of gear that is enjoyed for generations.
We developed custom automation equipment to ensure consistent, high-quality welding in every guide.
