Title: Rebuild a beefstick
Post by: oldmanjoe on February 03, 2021, 01:58:00 AM
 Had a old daiwa stick 6 ft that needed to get rebuilt .   Stripped the blank and repainted with left over spray paints ,5 different colors.
The butt and fore grip are scrub oak  that have bug tracks that i filled with different colors of expoxy

Came out nice, I like the translucent red on the guides, nylon thread without color preserver?

Unreal Joe!  There are guys making high-end fountain pens that do not look as nice as your fishing pole.
