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.

Educate me a little bit if you will. What are good turbidity numbers? If you can check those stats and determine what the water looks like before you go, that would be VERY helpful!
