i work with pvc pipe everyday. pvc is pretty tough, but i mnot sure about how well it would hold up. 2 problems i see. #1-    2 inch is pretty big for a grip area
#2 pvc breaks very easy in cold weather
just my input - Ryan

   Use rawhide and sinew. You could use sch 80 but you better have a big hand.
