Homemade stalking handle

[Snape]

I want to make my own short stalking landing net handle.
Can someone tell me where I can buy a brass thread connector to accept a 3/8" BSF thread on the net?
Thanks

I have asked this question before Snape and it would appeared that they are difficult to find. On the landing net pole I made from an old rod, I used a brass female 3/8 thread from an old buzz bar, and then went to B&Q and found a copper connector and basically used epoxy resin to glue it all together. Then put on some whippings. Hasn't broke yet

I used an old bank stick with this one, the rod,s hollow so it has three inches of aluminium bank stick glued inside and then whipped to add a bit of strength.



This one the brass piece is splined on the outside (came from an old thick hollow bank stick) and glued into a whole cane section



This one one i bought as is, just gave it a clean up

eBay search 'brass landing net handle boss 3/8" thread' £3.99 but no postage maybe the seller could be persuaded to post, ends in 6 hours though

Actually a couple of rod makers must have heard your cry, Snape as they are offering just what you want on eBay at the moment!


This is one from Peter Johnson at Oliver's:

That's the one I saw Nobby couldn't post the link from my phone. I got mine from Mike Harris and will be seeing him this week to black/blue some ferrules for me and I'll ask where he gets them from :thumb:

I have this if you want it Snape, 3/8 thread. It's brass and will come up a treat when polished.
