Cork Handle and Reel Seat *WANTED*

[Wiggy]

I've got a Hardy Ultralite 9ft #4 and I would like to make a spare small butt section so that I can make the rod a 6ft'er.

All I'm after is an old handle off a broken rod or something so that I can try my project.

I'd prefer to get it free, but I can pay for them too or I can tie some flies for you???

Cheers, Ryan.

Ryan,

You can get brand new handles for less than £8 and reel seats for much about the same - Lathkill sell them and I've used them before myself - excellent service all round.

Failing that why not get hold of some cork rings and make up your own handle and reel seat - it's very easy to turn an electric drill into a sort of mini lathe and use a wood rasp to get the basic shape you want then finish it off with sandpaper.

Cheers,
