As most who have been water hunting for over a month know, when sand gets into your handle the lower shaft can freeze with little chance of seperating it.
I have made a plug which does a pretty good job of solving this problem. You push the plug into the end of your handle past the holes (you may want to put a drop of veg. oil on the OD). Insert your lower shaft and cover the holes and joint with black electrical tape. If at a later date you want to remove the SandSeal, the one end is tapped 1/4-20 so you can thread a threaded rod into it and pull it out.
