"That rod was a "yard sale" find probably 15 years ago. It was an old "Carbomax" (never heard of that brand or name of rod but it was in perfect shape and has caught lots of fish) 6'6" Medium weight rod. It has been one of my favorite general duty poles for many trips to Willard, Hyrum, East Canyon, and several community ponds.
Well, I gave it an honorable retirement to my dumpster, moved the reel to another pole that had a cantankerous old reel that I just haven't had the guts to get rid of. So now hopefully I have made one serviceable rod and reel out of 2 bad ones."
[#0000FF]Get that old favorite rod out of the dumpster and let me have a looksee at it. I have been building and repairing rods for years and have a pretty good collection of all kinds of guides and tiptops. Chances are that a new set of guides can restore your legacy fishing tool to favored status.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]After all, you wouldn't dump an old friend just because they got warts. Well, maybe some of them...like the guy who always knocks a big fish off your line with the net if you are beating him.[/#0000FF]
