Lee Kashan Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) Cane rods have to be hung and not leaned mate, and kept in a very dry place. You could hang them in bags stuffed with rice and pva nuggets and stuff and wrapped in cling film and see if that helps!? - I am not sure but I think once they take on a lean they're doomed though And cheers mate Yeah I don't doubt it, I have a mere pinkie maggot lol Edited September 26, 2017 by Lee Kashan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Kashan Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 I rebuilt some of the new Ugly Stik Elite spin 10ft rods so they were more spined, soft blanks can be a little twisty under load I reccomend taking a look at some they have lovely actions that would suit small carp fun waters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salokcinnodrog Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Lets see, I rebuilt my old Armalites to how I wanted them, sadly they were stolen. I now have a pair of Carp Fanatic 2.5lb TC which I use on a water which has theft problems, 3 Century 2.75lb NG's to my specifications, and 3 Rod Hutchinson The One in 3.25lb TC. I'm not bad at building and rebuilding rods, although when it gets to more than a hobby as it does at times it gets annoying. I can make a fair bit of money out of building rods for fresh and salt water. I have some lovely stalking rods, fly rods, even some gorgeous bass blanks. Most rod guide manufacturers seem to be taking a leaf out of or basing their guides on those from Pac Bay, and many of the best rod blanks come from the same source, far better than most Chinese built blanks.
