unfrozen Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Another Christmas gift, this time an ice rod for those Devils's Lake walleyes and jumbo perch. Used gold skeleton seat and oak wood for the grips. The blank is ML action carbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upnorth Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 That handle is a pretty interesting concept. I really like that.How are you attaching the screw on portion, is it just epoxy? I really like the idea, but some concerns about how well it would hold up to use.I am going to say it again, I really like that!!! Thanks for sharing it.

unfrozen Posted December 19, 2009 Author Share Posted December 19, 2009 I had the same initial concern. But the reel seat extends down into the threaded piece so there's no concerns about it holding up. I tried twisting and pulling and the oak would have broken before the epoxy.
