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!!
