Put a cork handle on it and turn it into an ice fishing rod.
You have to change out the bottom two guides to bigger spinning rod guides, and I have found you need a new eye on the tip because the fly rod eye freezes up.
I've made a few this way. They don't have enough backbone for anything other than panfish, but it is still fun to reel up a fish on something you made from something you can't use anymore.
