WTB: True Sneaky Pete

I am looking for a true sneaky pete- no collar, no fancy designs, just a simple sneaky pete. I want it to look as much like a bar cue as possible. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm not really sure where to start nor which sneaky pete's are better than others. I also don't want to spend more than $150. Any ideas?

For that price I think you should just look at a production cue, or look around for a good deal on a used custom. What do you currently use?

Heres one I like under your price limit, http://www.poolndarts.com/p-3051-Hus...Piece-Bar-Cue/

I don't mind getting a production cue, I just want to make sure that its not going to fall apart on me. Have you ever played with one of these cues?

No I havent played with these cues, but I know Muellers has an excellent reputation as a retailer. Eeryone I know that has dealt with them has has positive comments and they have been around for a long time. Maybe contact them and see if they offer any warranties on their products. Good luck.

I had one of the cues from mullers and it was a good cue.As long as you spend the money on the higher priced one that is.I would aslo talk to Brent of BHQ he is a member on hear and might be able to hook you up.I have heard nothing but goog things about his cues and I am going to be geting one from him soon.I hope this helps you out.

I agree with shark3149. I have two BHQ's and I love them. I know he is busy so I didn't mention it before, but if he has one lying around or something, you couldn't go wrong with that idea. PM him and ask, he is a super guy to deal with.
Heres my BEM/Bocote cue, I know its tiny LOL but you can click on it to enlarge.

His cues play great, his finish is excellent, and I agree 100% that he is a great guy to deal with. If I didn't live 20some hours away I would have stopped by to visit a long time ago.

I want to come now,but I am moving in to my new house next week.I will still need a few weeks.I wanted to come up and meet you when Grady was in town but looks like that is not going to work.Hey bye the way are you really backed up?I decided to have you build me two cues not just one.I want a playing cue and a jump break.I would like a atch pair.Well I will talk to you more about it in the next few weeks.I got thing settled down and have the cash so I might as well spend it all now.
