Some time past, I was buying some modular cork handles from Dale Clements tackle...they came in various lengths with optional black or brown plastic rings set in between each piece...seems there were two different links of corks... I got away from rod making for a few years and lost contact and understand that Dale Clements tackle no longer exists....anyone familiar with the handles I'm referrin
Forum: rodboard

Thanks Tom....that's what I'll use.....

Bob----thanks so much for the tip.....after thinking about it, that was the way I had just about decided to go....what is the best finish that you can apply to the the cork handles for protection ?
