suzook12 Posted September 30, 2021 Author Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) You can see the state the original whippings were in. The only rods I've ever know to suffer road rash.... lol. Still waiting fot the century as having trouble getting hold of the guides. To be fair he did tell me this before I left the rod with him. So, I had a fuji reel seat fitted, 2 ferrules re whipped as got grazed and 2 rod rings over 4 blanks, price, £54. Turnaround was about 4 weeks, then we all got covid so they been sat there until today......
