Lots of options David. Thread, wood, epoxy ramps, stainless steel come to mind. I'm in Los Barriles if you need help with something.

Frankly, I think it would be a far shorter list to try and think of things you can't use.

Turks heads are in at the moment
I've turned my own out of aluminum bar
Have also used crutch tips that I've sliced n diced a little
I tend to have a theme for a rod, and then figure out the bits that fit that theme.
