Refurbishing my old BERKLEY IM7 Lightning Rod


This bait casting rod is among the first few rod I have a decade ago and I guessed it is time to give it a new look.




Cork grip stripped.



The original BERKLEY reel seat



All guides stripped..



The former fore grip area was given a new wrapping.





All new FUJI Alconite guides with similar theme color trimming.



Epoxied




Testing on new EVA split handle




The final outcome of the completed refurbished rod.



Next is to test it out....
