It's hard to slide the grip on with a non-tapered reamer. The wooden dowels also are rarely symetrical. For power reaming, I wood not recommend would. Re: dowel reamers?

Wood reamers are bad to twist and split apart. Dump 'em. Use solid glass OR broken golf club shaft material. Re: dowel reamers?

Bill,
Thrift stores frequently have old fiberglass rods real cheap, and I've seen a large number of old golf clubs at thrift stores for $1.00 each. We spend a lot of time at the beach and I make a habit of checking the dumpsters frequently for broken rods and discarded fishing items such a tackle boxes, lures and various other tackle. It embarrases my wife, but doesn't bother me. Stan Re: dowel reamers?

Thanks guys able to scrounge some old tapered graphite pieces. They worked like a charm.I now understand why tapered is so important . Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
