Snake Brand® Universal Snake Guides — ECOating Chrome
The Snake Brand® Universal Snake Guides — ECOating Chrome feature a patented, precision-formed design that changed the rod building industry: a concave radius on the bottom of the foot—an industry first—that makes guides self-orienting and self-aligning on the blank. Less time grinding, filing, twisting, bending, and wrapping. More time building.
Constructed from high-quality stainless steel with a durable ECOating Chrome finish, these guides deliver the same exceptional quality that has made Snake Brand the market leader in light wire snake guide development. The feet are consistent in length with tapered ends that fit the contour of a round fly rod blank—resulting in cleaner wraps and a more professional finish on every build.
- Patented concave foot radius — self-orienting, self-aligning on the blank (industry first)
- Consistent foot lengths with tapered ends — fit the blank contour for cleaner wraps
- No grinding, filing, twisting, or bending required — significant labor savings per build
- ECOating Chrome finish — corrosion-resistant, suitable for freshwater and saltwater
- Sizes 1/0–6 — covers a full range of fly rod builds
- High-quality stainless steel construction built for years of hard use
