Custom Colored Guides
Why be limited to the color options provided by "stock", off the shelf options? Back Creek Custom Rods offers custom color anodization services for titanium guides to the rod building community in search of that something extra to complete the perfect rod.
Titanium guides provide the highest level in corrosion protection, and color anodizing is a process which occurs at the molecular level at the surface of the metal - it is not a paint or coating which may fade, wear or flake off over time. The ceramic rings in the guides are not removed during the process so that their structural integrity remains - and the anodization process does not harm the ring in any way.
We offer Alps, Fuji, American Tackle & SeaGuide titanium guides, tip-tops & hook keepers, colored to your choice of colors (within the spectrum possible by titanium anodization - i.e. unfortunately red is not an option).
For builders building a large quantity of rods, we offer bulk-purchase discounts - contact us via the form below for details.

What colors are available?
A wide spectrum of colors are able to be achieved with titanium anodization - though unfortunately not red or those based on red tones (orange), things like white & black. We've set a menu of colors to choose from for the ordering process, but if you have a special request - to try and match a specific shade of a reel seat, trim ring, etc - we can often achieve that and will do our closest color matching for an additional fee - just contact us via the form below to discuss.

Due to the nature of the material and the process, there can be some slight variations in the color and/or hue across parts or sizes - though we take all possible steps to match a set as close as absolutely possible across the range of parts - we accomplish this by anodizing each part one at a time, comparing to the "control" part - and adjusting the process along the way as needed. No bulk anodizing here and you get what you get.... we work hard to ensure as perfect a set as possible.
The "standard" menu of colors is:
Pale Gold

Gold
|
"Old Gold"
|
Green

Teal
|
Aqua
|
Slate Blue
|
Royal Blue
|
Dark Blue
|

Here's the process to get some amazing color onto your next custom build...
- Place an order via the on-line store below - or if what you need is not yet on the store, drop us a message and we'll work up a specific quote.
- We now keep a modest inventory of Alps parts on-hand - for others (of if additional quantities of Alps are needed), we order inventory at the first and middle of each month, if not more often - with all the styles & sizes, and let's be honest, the price of titanium, it is challenging to keep our own inventory on hand, so we partner with our suppliers to get the parts at the best possible cost as quickly as possible - usually within a week of our placing an order.
- Once we have the parts in hand, within 3-5 working days we put them through the magical coloring process, turning plain old titanium into something colorful & unique and get them on the way to you.
