I was thinkin about makin a wood handle for a flukin rod. im a big fan of old school stuff and want to replicate some of the handles I have collected. what kind of wood would be best? the lightest for flukin? I checker shotgun stocks too and make clam bats with checkering on them. is this practical? thanks Re: wooden handle material

Yes, it's practical. Traditional boat rod handles have often been made from Hickory for its relative hardness.

I think checkering would be incredable on a grip, id like to see it when your done
I have been watching a frend ofmine that checkers fore years I think you have a great idea checkering in strategic locations on the grip for specific hand contact points the more I think about it I defiantly want to see a finished grip I just know it will be ausom.. Curt Re: wooden handle material

I have also seen some older rods that used ash and oak. You can use all kinds of wood. a walnut with checkering would be nice Re: wooden handle material

I've turned reel seat inserts out of curly hickory and like the look more than curly maple.

Actually a pole is what Festus on Gunsmoke used for catfish, while Doc Adams used a cane rod and reel. :>) Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
