Rebuilding the Techna "Japanese" AV


A hot and steamy rod rebuilding story... LOL .. just for the name's sake.
It's other rod rebuilding to give a new lease of life to a old custom built rod from a Techna AV blank.

Started the stripping process...




Hard labor...


Everything was stripped down until the reel seat.
The rod will have all new components expect the reel seat and a set of recycle Fuji titanium SiC guides.





A new Fuji graphite winding check to sealed up the reel seat opening which was only covered with EVA and a metallic thread wrapping to finish off the unfinish part.



The new split cork handle with aluminum spacer and rubberised butt cap.







Recycle Fuji Titanium SiC guides in spiral placement half way done..



Guides done..



Matching color to the existing wrapping in burgundy and that wraps it up.
Another project accomplished.
