I'm considering getting my hands into building a few rods and thought that stripping down and converting an UL Eagle Claw 5' glass spinning rod would be a good way to do so.
How would I go about this? What's the best way to strip the grip, wraps, etc. off it without damaging the blank?
ANY input would be helpful!
Thanks!

What do you think about black with sunburst tipping? Any other colors that look good besides red?

considering the great rod makers of the past and present,
where are the examples of their work, while they were learning their craft?

I'm thinking about getting into rod building but I have limited space. I could use my basement, but even if i cleaned and refinished part of it, it still remains fairly damp, dusty, and moldy; especially in the fall/winter (we used to have problems with water damage). I do have a spare bedroom, but this isn't really that far off from the rest of the house.

My main question concerns wrap finishes.

Today I tackled the tip-top of my Lamiglas guild. I did it free-hand. It was much easier. No problem keeping constant tension.

I did have to perform some finger gymnsastics to secure and implement the tie off loop.

All said, I'll stick with this procedure.

Interesting to see the separate handles for casting rods. Reminds me of the bass stick Grandpa made for me years ago,

Now I just need to get this Lamiglass built so I can justify ordering some Batson blanks to cut up. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Grashpr9) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/topic/10834 Wed, 21 Oct 2009 15:35:55 GMT
