Default Re: Classic Hurricane Rebuild

Red wraps? Red boat?
I see you can turn slowly enough to get a really nice finish.
Years ago I picked up a nice old Penn 50 on a Lott Bros. 80 class tuna stick. It`s brown and mustard . Made for "Tuna Ted" He must have been from Maine. Brown and mustard? I`d like to redo it to match my Chaos. Black and gold.

I bought it from Mr. Elkins at Outdoor Sportsworld. A wonderful "artist" named Rod McFarland rented out a little space to build one off rods there. The things he could do w/ thread were unfathomable. Turkey feather wraps? Flock of Mallards? Partridge tails?
His talent was only surpassed by his skill and imagination.
You have quite a talent there. I think I could get Rod`s number if you might want to share ideas. Great guy too!

Would you mind explaining the process for a 1st timer?

Thx
