Hi fellas I have been given a fly rod which is pretty ugly looking.It is a 9ft 6weight graphite and the colour is an off brown.Both the strippers are missing but all the snakes are in place.I was thinking of stripping the whole rod back and making it more presentable.Can i change the colour of the blank?. Also the reel seat has seen better days.Can i change the reel seat to a better quality seat?. There are no markings on the rod to indicate what brand it is.Tha actual blank is in very good condition with no obvious scratches.Appreciate any help. Kind regards Jay Parker Sydney Australia Re: Can i change blank colour

Do a search here for "blank refinishing" or "painting blanks" or the like. There has been a ton of info presented on various ways to do this. ......... Re: Can i change blank colour

Jay, it sounds as if you have a good rod to practice with. You are likely to spend a lot of time turning one sow's ear into another. When you contact your blank man at CTS, be sure to ask for any factory seconds. If you aren't picky, you may get a great deal. Re: Can i change blank colour
