Rod Rehab

Recommended Posts

My father has a fiber glass rod from the seventies that he loves. It has some decent wear and tear and I was thinking of rewrapping it, and putting new grips and such on it. How does one put a new finish on the blank, what do you use, and should there be sanding with high grit to break up the old finish and refinish it. I appreciate your input.

i wrap tape on the tips and chuck them right in my 1/2" holeshooter drill, starting at 120 and finer from there. usually just rattle can them, 3 coats paint, 3 coats clear, scuffed with scotchbrite between all coats. have to let them sit a while to fully cure before wrapping though. i love to redo and use old rods.
