What whole cane fro bank sticks?

Post by AverageAngler »

Hi all,

I want to make some whole cane bank sticks to suit the cane rods I seem to be mysteriously accumulating :Chuckle:

They will also be good practice pieces for whipping and varnishing before embarking on refurbishing a couple of said rods.

Do I just barrel up to the nearest garden centre and buy canes of the correct size for my needs? If so do I need to prepare them in any way? Do they need to be flamed to drive out any moisture etc?

Your wise guidance would be most appreciated.

Richard.

I use old butt or middle sections from old rods

Can't see why you shouldn't use garden centre cane. :Hat:
