I wonder if anyone can help .............

I'm buiding a 14' - 6" float rod for fishing Steelies in and around The Great Lakes rivers/rivermouths. Most of my fishing is done in the colder months so I wanted to go with the warm feel of cork instead of the more traditional wood insert/barrel. I just recently purchased some Fuji Skeleton Reel Seats from one of the board sponsers and waslooking for an "off the shelf" cork barrel insert ! Can anyone suggest a supplier or recommend where I can obtain one.

I dont own a lathe (as yet) but only have a Power Drill type lathe set up, other wise I would make them myself.
appreciated.

You can make your own on that drill lath set up. That is all I have and it works great for even wood. Mine is like the Flex Coat set up, only better. It will work

Janns' had them last year . I have 3 of them that I bought but haven't used as of yet . If you need dimensions of them e-mail me ...jdow 4071@sbcglobal.net. I have them here at the house , so your in luck if you need a measurement quick. JD

Got Fish ?

We have them to fit a sz 16 seat.

Thank's for the replies - I'm going to take your advice Bill, and have a go at making them myself.

Thanks everyone for your input !
