[font "Technical"][#0000a0][size 3]Paul, you will want it to be tapered to match the rod as close as possible. You can do this with a tapered rat tail file or you can make a tapered reamer out of an old broken fishing pole. Find a piece of rod that is smaller than the rod you plan to fit your handle to. Mix up some 5 minute epoxy and spread over the old rod piece and sprinkle sand on it. This will make a tapered reamer. [/size][/#0000a0][/font]
[font "Technical"][#0000a0][size 3] You can get sand for this at lowes or home depot. It will be sold as traction sand, not the traction you put in the back of your truck for weight, but the kind you put on the ground so you don't slip. You can also buy sandpaper that is sticky on one side. Cut a narrow strip and spiral it up the piece of rod. These methods can be used by hand or with a drill. Hope this helps.
