Ling Rod Refurb

I bought this rod from kid kingfish so I could strip it down and build myself a ling rod for the boat. Well after about 2 hours of scraping it with a razor blade and a little heat I finally had it down to the blank. So here is the finished product, and I might say this is one of the pretiest 30.00 rods I have ever purchased. Maybe now I can catch a ling from a boat finally 00.

I used a Pac Bay channel lock reelseat that I had on hand, cork that is sealed on the fore grip and X-flock shrink tube on the rear to hold up in the rod holder.

I had a set of k series guides I took off of a rod a month ago so I put them on it to see how they looked and it all just seemed to jive.
