Hope this helps. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wetflyguy Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 You can get all sizes of dowels 7/8" and 3/4" are theones I use most Up to 1 1/2 " if you want. I get them at the home centers , they are mostly poplar so make shure you seal good. wet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 If you want to make some magnum poppers, get some 1 3/8" fir clothes pole. You'll need a good surf rod to cast them, but they'll pop enough to attract Jaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
