Default Re: Classic Hurricane Rebuild

That's Classic Sandy,
You win - I won't refinish them. If I bust off a guide on a Big-eye tuna and lose the fish I'll be comin' to see your rod collection. Sorry to hear about the punks. That Blows! Only positive is that they left the fishing gear alone.

Regarding the Bamboo, I was only gonna add a little strength to the guides, but so be it, I'll let them age gracefully. Hopefully the big fish hit the modern rods.
I restore antiques and often recommend the same - leave it alone, appreciate the the patina of the ages. What was I thinking
