In need of a butt plug
I recently inherited and Browning Silaflex Graphite, 8 1/2' 6/7. The plug on the butt end of the reel seat is missing and I'm wondering if anyone here might know where I could find one. It's an old school rod and acts more like fiberglass than graphite, but I like it and look forward to using it more. The reel seat is one of those plastic looking graphite seats, and the opening is about 9/16".
Thanks ahead.
So much could be said just by the title , I got a bunch of one liners
but I digress --
How about a rubber cork mill it to fit. Most hardwire stores have various sizes
or make one of wood. That could make it rather nice looking as well..
Good luck sounds like a nice slow action rod.

Better than I deserve Steve. Better than I deserve. And yes, I'm probably going to get a hardwood dowel and mill it down to size.

I assume you've done a web search and did NOT find what you were looking for?
I searched Browning...I just come up with Bass Pro Shops. Did they buy Browning? But...there is a Browning Fishing website for Europe, and they offer spare parts. Not sure if they will have what you are looking for, but it might be worth a shot?

I would just do a search of google, put what size and color your looking for and I bet something will pop up
Jan's Net craft has them
I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
Hey Joe
I might have one of the Netcraft plugs laying around the rod shop. When I get home Monday I wil look. If I do, I will send it to you. If you want something fancier, I can make you one from cork, rubberized cork or highly figured wood. No charge of course for an old fishing buddy. Just let me know..

Is it any wonder why I love this site???
Trouts don't live in ugly places.
A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.
Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.
Post a photo once you get it made...

As soon as I hear from Joe, I'll get right on it Steve!
