LOOKS GREAT RICK BUT I nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnever would have used anything on the blank and if it was discolored like many of em are I'd have left it alone after the alcohol and wax. Just my preference is all..... CARRY ON!
I used 600grit wet and dry sand paper to polish the glass part and Tooty recommend 400 for the cork handle.... it rdy to go fishing
The real is a old South Bend Finalist #44
Wow, that rod is near mint. Nice work in polishing it. What's the reel?
Wish I have some kind of teleportation device right now. All my gears are ready and packed. Just need my physical body to be over there where you boys are. You guys are freaking nuts!
Ok I will get started now and If leo youngen cant talk his wife into it we will just have to eat shore lunch without him.......
