VINTAGE CUSTOM MADE HARDWOOD HANDLE FOR A MUSHROOM BUTT CAP
This is a Custom Made Hardwood Handle that is 8 inches long and has a 9/16 inch hole that goes about 6 inches into the handle almost to the end where the mushroom butt cap presses on. The mushroom butt cap is pressed onto the end of the wood rear grip. You can also get 2 of these Vintage Custom Made hardwood handles and attach them together using a 1/2 inch or 5/8 inch wood dowel making the handle 16 inches long if you like. Just use your imagination and the possibilities are endless.
These Custom Made hardwood handles are the same as those used on many vintage fishing rods from the 1930s to the 1960s. We recommend using two-part epoxy glue when putting together your custom made fishing rod. You can use a wood dowel to go inside of the wood rear grip and to the inside of the reel seat of your choice. You just use rings of masking tape around the wood dowel so it press fits into the end of the wood handle and press fits inside the end of the reel seat. Then you use two-part epoxy glue to have everything permanently attached together. Then your fishing rod blank is inserted into the end of the reel seat using a ferrule on the end of the blank or you can build up the end of the blank so it press fits into the inside of the reel seat and have it permanently attached again using two-part epoxy glue. This Custom Made Hardwood Handle can be used for a bait casting rod, a conventional rod, a spinning rod or a surf rod as the possible applications.
***** Please note that the black rubber mushroom shaped butt caps are also available on my website that fit onto the end of these Vintage Custom Made hardwood handles. *****
