Our unique GRAPHITE ARBORS are as light as cork, but unlike cork or tapebushings, are much harder.  They give the rod maximum sensitivity,as they transmit the strike signal and lure action from the blank throughthe reel seats, to the fisherman's hands. Also unlike cork or tape bushings, graphite arbors have glue channels ontheir outside surfaces for firmer bonding.  They are therefore lesslikely to become loose between the blank and reel seat after continuoususe. Standard I.D. can be reamed to larger sizes to fit a wide array of blankdiameters. All arbors are a standard 25.4 mm (1``) long.
