My online searches are not bearing fruit.

I’m in the market for a couple fishing poles made with metal hardware for the reel seat and clamps, not plastic. I bought some vintage poles that appeared to be in great shape but due to age they began having failures after a little use. So I’m looking for a recently manufactured pole that doesn’t use plastic.

Casting, spinning and spincast are all useful. Thank you for any leads.

Vintage poles will work fine if you overwrap the ferrels with new thread and then dope the thread.
