Help needed to fix cane bank stick.
Many years ago I purchased a pair of cane bank sticks from the late Dave Austin. They are amongst my favourite items of tackle but when I returned home from a recent trip I found the hard wood spike was missing from one of them and I can only presume it got left in the ground.
Would anyone know how I could get a new hard wood spike made?

Nige, if Wal can't help drop me a pm and I'll turn you a new one in finest English oak and pop it in the post.

Thanks, chaps. I think this one is now sorted.

A practical man..I like that, I've sheathed mine in brass screwed and glued on, hated the thought of ramming the wood into the bank.Loop Erimder wrote: ↑Fri Oct 26, 2018 5:54 pm Exact same thing happened to one of my DA bank sticks.... made a new one in the drill

Re: Help needed to fix cane bank stick.
You can buy hard wood dowel from Wickes. then you sand a point on one end, stain it and glue it inside the brass tube.
That is how Dave did his and that is how I do mine. Use a two part epoxy glue.
