Hi Folks,
I have been handed a Sportfisher Ocean Side BT72 PG heavy Graphite manufactured in USA Rod for a rebuild. The Rod is brown in colour with yellow painted underwrap, wooden handle, guides are the heavy boat type without rings and a roller tip with reinforcing stays. There is a cord wrap of roughly five inches forward of the forgrip. It is a " it was Dads, do what you can" situation. The decal is fairly moth eaten, I suppose it would be beyond the realms of possibility if anyone knows if a replacement decal exists. Any information on the rod would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Rod, Mboro.
