Default building rods

How many people here have built your own rods and would you reccomend the
experience?


I have fixed two of the rods I took home when my father passed away. I
replaced the SS loops for the lines and used nylon thread to wrap around the
SS loops applied a bit of CA glue and then painted the whole rod with
varathane(spelling?) varnish for that new look. So far I have used them in
lake and salt water and have had no problems with them. This was back in the
August/September 1977 time frame, still have them and use them whenever I get
a chance..
