Ok my stuff is not as nice as some of the other thing I have seen on here, I am proud of this. I call it my 6' 9" Frankenstein rod, it was born out of older rods that were dug up from the depths of my wifes grandfathers rod. The blank is an older rod to but not as old as the other parts. Reel seat must be about 25+ years old and the cork handle 30+ plus years old and after some sanding and prepping seem to be holding up fine.

The guides are some guides I found in all my left overs. First I cut down the handle and was able to cut a smaller peace of fiberglass to splice the blank and handle together. Epoxyed together of course, I did to the same to the same to attack the fighting butt.

I have to say I had my doughts that this was even going to work, but once it was wrapped and flex costed I strated to think this may work out. I have since hand it out twice and it cast great, and has great feeling. But most improtantly it has help up to the hook set and fight. Let me know what you think.

Very nice bud! You really brought that old stuff back to life...

Very cool!!!
