Old 2 piece boat rod

Hello all

I was given an old 2 piece boat rod with the wood handle, it was going to end up in the garbage. I will be stripping the wood handle a redoing it, guides will go of course and be replaced with new ones. I was wondering on the blank, its a white fiberglass blank, is permagloss the best thing to apply to it once I strip off the old finish on it, and should I replace the ferrules or just clean them up..


As always

Thanks for your replies and help.

PG will do a great job.The ferrules can either be replaced or polished.The choice is your.Depends on how corrroded they are and if it goes through to the brass.

Thank you Fred

The guides are really the only things that are in bad shape, the ferruls are oxidized, so I think a nice clean up and polish will do,
The handle I will sand down and will go with the pg once the blank is stripped.
