Rod Re-Build???
 
I have a 1205 Arra....great rod but its all tired out! Epoxy is cracking around the guide feet and it needs to be re-wrapped and have new guides put on! Problem is I have already had this rod re-hashed once already and its about 7 years old and has seen alot of fish! Is it worth having this done again or should I just go new? For what it might cost to have done I could probably just as easily have a new stick built??? Your thoughts would be appreciated.:fishin:

i have a 9 ft. murat that i've had from 66. rewraped about 5 times. still going strong.love that rod. knock on wood.

I'd rewrap that rod again and again Larry. The quality of the blank demands it.

Another vote for Rewrap, if you love it, use it....

definitley re-wrap it. Sounds like the rod has some MOJO to it.

LArry....I have an 8' St Croix Ben doerr that looks like the rods my father used to give me from the junk yard he owned...That bad boy is getting done this winter as you can;t beat a well broken in rod that you know how to handle...Re wrap that old friend.

Re-wrap for sure Larry. That is a quality blank and deserves at least another hundred fish.:fishin:

If you decide to ignore all that good advice a buy new...I'd be happy to take that Arra off your hands. I won't even charge you a "removal fee" :)
