Don Babbitt Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 I have made a few rods before but never one with an exposed blank handle. The question is how does one know which size I. D. handle to buy and do you still have to “build up” with tape to secure it? Any / All info will help . Getting back into turning a few for myself.

Lilpdriverrat Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Depending on where you order from, ask them to fit the reel seat to the desired length on the rod and then you will not need to build up with tape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
