If you don't mind the Dewey handles binding up.

I don't know how to do links to previous threads, but a few weeks ago there was a thread where I posted about dissecting rod handles, with pics.

Bore-Tech's website brags about the durability of their coatings. Not my experience, but no worse than Deweys.

As far as I can tell, the longest lasting coated rod in my considerable collection is an old Parker-Hale .22 rod. Scraped up pretty well, but no metal exposed.
