Is the tip of this rod a roller also? Aluminium? Stainless? Chrome?

The tip has a roller. Not sure about the material. Feels like aluminum though.

Roller guides all the way through, nice rod, fished and saw other at twice the price. I own two and plan to buy more.

Depends on exactly what you think of as the drive roller. If you mean the feed roller, it is aluminum but if you are referring to the spool mount it is phenolic.

Neither, this is polished steel. Scratches too easily to be plated. Still, the rollers are stainless and super easy to keep clean and sanitary. See my review for a little more detail and a good tip.

It is plastic but with a chrome finish. I think the hose part might be metal.

The handle and the rod are stainless. The tube, and the top and bottom rings are aluminum. The foot of the jack and the bracket at the top that the lever attaches to is plastic. Both are pretty sturdy.

I replaced the rod a few months ago. It's meant to be bent. and you straighten it out as you insert it.

yes, been using this mill for over a year and works perfectly. The rollers are stainless steel.

According to the SA description, it is a graphite rod. My rod does not have any markings of material type on it.

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.

It must be steel rod as it'll attract a magnet. It looks like it's chromed to me. I presume it can be painted if roughened up with sand paper first.

I own this and use it everytime I shave. It's chrome or some sort of metal (stainless maybe?) Not plastic. Has a good weight to it.

It's probably plastic, but it has a convincing appearance of porcelain or ceramic. This rod has a general look of quality.

The rod is metal. The component at the base is plastic. There doesn't appear to be much force applied to it though.

Chromed steel. Nice shower except for the shower head. Bought a low pressure shower head. Works great. It's outdoors and hasn't started to rust but I treated it with frog lube (another great product!!!)

I think it is stainless. It was sent in a box & included the end caps. This rod still looks new & I use it for hanging wet clothes to dry. I would buy this rod again if I needed another.

The tips are stainless steel, while the body is solid plastic. These tend to stay in one piece unlike the aluminum arrows.

I can't tell, and it doesn't say anything on the box or in the instructions, but to me it looks like the frame might be chrome plated and the rollers stainless steel.
