ZUL Barracast Refurbishment

After 6 months of rebuilding the handle of this spinning rod, we are going to convert it to a casting rod...


It was good that my friend have the time to do the stripping of the entire rod.... well almost the entire rod.
He have abit of left over of the reel seat for me to remove.


I have to use the hot air gun to soften the epoxy in the reel seat to have it removed.


The balance of the metallic silver paint and the reel seat removed.


Fitting of new ACS reel seat and aluminum winding check.


Shaped EVA split grip



Since the rod does not have fore grip, a feather inlay above the winding check will stand out on this black colored blank.


Simple black wrapping with metallic red thread trimming on Fuji SiC guides.


A view from the reel seat.


And this rod is finished off with a MATAGI butt cap.
