Rome Specialty Company, Inc. has been manufacturing terminal fishing tackle in Rome, NY since 1926. From its inception, ROSCO’s principal products have been sport and commercial fishing swivels, snaps, sleeves, and rings. Our products are made out of either brass or stainless steel and can be plated in nickel or oxidized in black. We are the oldest and largest manufacturer of terminal fishing tackle and lure components in the United States. In fact, our first president, J. Howard Butts, was a founding member of the Associated Fishing Tackle Manufacturers Organization, predecessor to the American Fishing Tackle Manufacturers’ Association and now the American Sportfishing Association.
