[Fly Or Die]

This rod was a complete mess. A co-worker had it stored away in a tub with yard tools. The reel seat was broken in half, 3 cork rings remained from the original handle, and the blank was heavily scratched. I didn't have much hope for it. I mainly just wanted to use it to practice on but to my surprise it shined up nicely. :thumb:

Nice looking rebuild, always liked the old IM700 color with red thread.

Way to revive a nice stick. Hopefully those fixed scratches will hold up for you.
