Surf & Pier Rods
Rebuild of an older 13' Rainshadow 2 pc surf rod and a 12' UK carp rod along with a new build on an 11' surf blank. The existing builds had definitely seen better days - but the customer wanted to keep the existing reel seats and a teak butt cap on the 12' rod.
Stripped the two rods down to the blank (leaving the seats), sanded them & painted them in gloss black, cleaned up the reel seats as much as possible, sanded down the teak butt cap and refinished it, installed new cork wrap with heat-shrink over and then wrapped them all in a matching / coordinating decorative wrap and matching guide wraps on all new Alps-Forecast double-footed guides.
