I finally made my straight shaft. I took all the different ideas from everyone and put one together.
I used the walmart "black widow" fishing rod ($10). The end cap unscrews and I removed the 3 telecoping pieces and just used the bottom piece.
I took the Excal bottom diving shaft and epoxied it into the rod. Sanded it and painted all black.
I put on a whites cuff ($10), hand bar ($6.75) and hand grip ($4)
I epoxied the hand bar because of some having it become lose
Seems to be very sturdie and will hopefully get to try it this weekend down at the jersey shore.
I'll add another picture when I put on the coil and wire it up
Thank you all for your ideas.
