Default Classic Hurricane Rebuild

No, not a SeaCraft; not even an old boat but an old hurricane fishing rod from my youth.














Started out by striping off the old stainless wire guides, ugly faded red grips and reel seat. Then scraped of the clear coat with a razor. I chose cork grips and fuji seat and guides.



Next, the installation of the grips



Tape to keep the epoxy off the components







Next, the red under wrap









Cigar bands



Handle wrap



Guides





Finished with 2 coats of clear



A classic fit a for a classic



Can't wait to get out and catch some more of these guys on my new old classic



See Ya!!
