Nothing to exciting but currently making another bamboo landing net handle and realised that I had no butt cap. So with an old bit of threaded brass fom a plastic landing net block, few pieces of soling leather ,drill,sandpaper and shoe polish.
Quite pleased with the result so have decided to put it on my current pole and the rubber one can go on the new one.

There are three things that improve with age: wine, friendship and water sense, and there's no short cut.
