I HAVE AN OLD 6 FT FINWICK LUNKERSTICK WITH A PISTOL GRIP AND I WANT TO REBUILD IT WITH A STRAIGHT CORK HANDEL. CAN SOME ONE TELL ME WHERE I CAN FIND A REPLACEMENT HANDEL AND WHAT MEASUREMENTS TO GET THE CORRECT ONE.
THANKS

is the pistol grip handle removable from the rod ?? if so you would have to remove the Ferrule and then extend the blank about 12 inches either with a piece of blank inserted to the end at a minimum of 3 inches 5 - 6 inches would be ideal glue with epoxy. let it cure and order the handle components butt grip seat and fore grip assemble and re wrap the guides and you set

Here is the link to the library article on blank extending [www.rodbuilding.org]

Excuse my ignorance, but I have never heard of a “Fenwick Lunkerstick”. That being said and solely because of the name, now I simply have to have one!!!
