bassstump Posted February 2, 2022 Report Share Posted February 2, 2022 Now thanks to "TU" newest habit ROD Repairs. Jumped in and refurbishing my 4 ALX casting rods that needed eye replacements, got all of them done. THAT WAS EASY! Next I got the itch to build a rod from the bare blank. Seeing how it would be my !st one, I did not want it to cost an arm and leg if it didnot work out...lol. I remembered a new "All Star" 7ft MH spinning rod that I had never used. So completely stripping it down to a bare blank and made a casting rod out of it. That was a JOB but now it is a usable tool. Finished it last week and proud to say went fishing today and caught a few nice spotted bass a lake Norman ......thanks again guys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Young Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Very nice. I have a kit i bought several years ago & haven't built yet. I have actually gave a buddy some eyes out of it so i'd have to buy more just to build it. Edited September 9, 2022 by Les Young Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
