I am not an expert in material:I think is made of glassfiber.I have 4 of these and they are so good for my fishing time.

It's graphite. Don't expect much from a $30 rod. It works fine though--durable, strong, forgiving. I have 2 of this model, and 2 of the medium model. I would recommend using only mono on it, it doesn't have high-tech guides. I use the medium heavy with 30# line for larger fish--the medium size I use 20# mono.

Hi Chief Bob, The reel is made of cast metal, the internals are plastic and metal. I have two reels made like this, my Wright McGill has never given me a problem and is made quite well for a value priced reel, same is true of the rod they sell with it. Ron/Fly Fisherman

I believe it's some type of composite .. plastic/acrylic. Very pleased with it. Being able to "pose" it allows me to place it on a chair/seat.

Seems like laminated synthetic leather, not 100% positive as it is not specified on the tag under the seat. The leather has a soft feel to it, if that help answer your question. The core is polyurethane molded foam.

All major fame components are made from a durable aluminum alloy material. The swivel is made of both aluminum and brass. The hardware used to hold the reel together is made of stainless steel. The reel is backed by a 10 YEAR No-Leak, No-Rust, No-Break guarantee.

I haven't had mine for to long but it appears to be made from some type of light weight nylon. It is water resistant and the tie downs work well. It has a four year warranty.

The black frame of the reel is graphite. This is not a metal, or aluminum, frame reel. Gold portion on exterior is a decorative alloy plate.

It is made of a very heavy metal. It's probably the best seat belt I have had for my dog ever!

Spool itself is aluminum. Surrounding supporting structure is graphite. Overall a very affordable and decent reel for the money. I am satisfied with my purchase

I can't answer that for you. However HarborFreight sells a surprisingly nice, permanent mount air hose reel made of steel. Mine's been going strong 3+ years without issue and used a couple times a week. I'm not a fan of most things HarborFreight, but that one is worth it.

It is made of a black plastic material with a foam core. I had to replace my old ones when the material started shedding off. I travel a lot and I have not had any problems yet with these. They work as well as the orginals.

The Reel body itself is graphite the spool and hardware are aluminium. This is not a reel a guide may use but for the weekend fly fisherman this will serve you very weel good buy for the dollar

Don't remember, it's pretty long though. Sold this at a yard sale after trying to use it one time, would not recomend it, reel sucks!

Good morning, STB. The seat is made out of rubber wood. I hope you find this information helpful. Adreanna, Plow & Hearth Customer Service

It is made of what seem to be a high grade rubber. I am a big guy and it was very comfortable to use.
