Yu might want to just use it the way it is Don. If its a spinner , changing it to conventional would mean moving the guides and probably buying new style guides. Lot of work and expense to put into an old blank. The old blond Lami fiberglass blanks are very popular and that one will be a great bait chucker. If its a spinner , just use it that way.
My experience has been that after all the time and effort and expense building a rod , you are disappointed if you don't start with the blank you really wanted in the first place. Undoing a perfectly functional spinner to make it a conventional is not a good use of your time. Now if its falling apart and needs a lot of work anyway , and the guides are cracked , etc , then it may be worth rebuilding to salvage the blank. It is a classic rod blank. I believe that at one time , the Lami SB 1213M and the SB1363M were the most popular blanks among serious striper fisherman. We're looking back to about 1977 but they were the Cat's Meow then.
