 WHAT IS A ROD "SPINE" ?

Just about every blank has what is called the "high side", the "stiff side" or the "spline". Of the 360 degree around the circumference of the blank, there is one point that seems to run along the axis that appears to be more rigid or stiff, in which is called the "effective spine". Most mass produced factory rods are built without consideration for the placement of the spine in relation to the guides, therefore causing your rod to "twist" while under a load, and may also cause breakage. You will sure notice the difference, as the rod soon becomes your new favorite.

 WHAT IS A MARBLED FINISH?

THE MARBLE FINISH IS A SIGNATURE DECORATIVE FINISH TECHNIQUE PERFECTED BY ARMBREAKER CUSTOM RODS, FOREVER ENDING THE "PLAIN LOOKING" ROD SYNDROME. THE FINISH IS EYE CATCHING, UNIQUE AND PERMANENT, NO SHRINK WRAPS OR PEEL AND STICKS THAT ONLY FADE IN TIME. THE FINISH PRODUCES UNIQUE AND STRIKING PATTERNS CONSISTING OF SWIRLS AND STRIPES WITH COLOR FADES AND GRADIENTS, WITH EVEN A PRISMATIC 3D EFFECT ADDED ON REQUEST. THE FINISH HAS UN-LIMITED POSSIBILITIES FROM WILD, CONTRASTING COLORS TO COMPATIBLE COLORS FOR A TIGHT, SUBTLE, CLASSY EFFECT. HAVE THE ENTIRE ROD MARBLED OR JUST THE GUIDE WRAPS FOR A MORE RESERVED LOOK.
