Old surf rod repair
I'm been wanting a couple of surf rods to use occasionally so I've picked up two old two piece 10ft rods to repair - rebuild. One I believe is a brown Garcia and other I don't know. Under the paint is the honey comb look I've seen on some rods on here. Cork on both is gone, reel seats usable, and rear handles are aluminum. I am going to try to tape up or shrink wrap up where cork was and just install all new guides and tips. I plan on going to rod room next week and need to know what guides to buy. I plan on using a pair of green 704 with bails. I thought about using mono for wrapping like I seen on a couple of king rods. Any thoughts or ideas will be greatly appreciated.
