ProKöte Rod Building Thread Finish

Product Details

PROKÖTE™ rod building thread finish is the perfect choice for professional-grade finished fishing rods.

With its extended working time, easy leveling, good bubble release, and excellent thread saturation, PROKÖTE™ is your go-to choice for rod building needs. Each kit includes mixing and application instructions, and the smaller kits (2-8 oz.) also include a set of free 3cc color-coded syringes and yorker caps. The base resin and hardening components are provided in equal amounts, and are mixed in a simple 1:1 ratio. With its medium-build structure, PROKÖTE™ remains flexible without becoming too soft or hard, and its unique leveling properties release micro bubbles with ease. Protect your rod from UV rays, scratches, abrasions, and the elements with the superior clarity retention and yellowing protection of PROKÖTE™.

  • Medium build viscosity remains flexible without staying soft or becoming too hard and cracking
  • Unique leveling properties release micro bubbles with ease
  • Excellent thread saturation creates a deep protective coating
  • Protects your thread wraps from harmful UV rays, scratches, abrasions, and the elements
  • Prevents the growth of mold and mildew, which can damage and degrade guide wraps over time

Note: the volume listed is the total volume of both hardener and resin. For example: when ordering PK-2, that features (2) 1oz. bottles to make approximately 2oz. of prepared finish.

The Difference is Clear.

PROKOTE™ rod finish has been tested to be the #1 epoxy. PROKOTE™ has the finest UV inhibitors available in a commercial rod finish. The clarity is unsurpassed by any other finish - period. It remains flexible without staying soft or becoming too hard and cracking. The leveling properties in this finish are 2nd to none while micro bubbles release with ease. In 1,500 hours of weatherometer (WOM) Xenon Arc testing by an independent laboratory, PROKOTE™ Rod Finish proved to be the #1 brand of thread finish epoxy for rod builders. Tests for quality and overall coating performance were performed.

Controlled laboratory testing proved dramatic superiority over the other brands. Tests on PROKOTE™ note an 87% clarity retention compared to the leading manufacturer, while UV Yellowing was the lowest of all brands tested. Laboratory Tests note that PROKOTE™ Rod Building Finish is 207% better at non-yellowing and 187% better at a 60 degree gloss reflectiveness than the leading brand of rod building finish.

Please note: Epoxy finish typically has a 1 year shelf life depending on conditions.

Great epoxy to work with

Easy to mix by hand and dries with no bubbles when using a heat gun!

Medium build epoxy with great qualities

I frequently use prokote when finishing rods. The set up time is not too fast and not too long. Medium build that allows a nice thin first coat to go on smooth and easily able to apply a smooth second coat to the rod.

ProKote is the best I've ever used.

I've been building rods for sale and lately as just a hobby for nearly 50 years. For the last several years every rod I have made has had some type of image woven on it with a Wonder Weaver. Succsessful weaving takes a great deal of planning, preparation and patience. Having used many different thread finishes over the years; some okay and some not so much so, I now depend exclusively on ProKote Thread Finish. Properly measured and mixed it produces a self leveling, bubble free and durable finish that you can depend upon every time.
