I have a old Fenwick I have rewrapped for a friend and can not find the number any where on the WEB. It was a factory rod bought back in the late 60/ early 70 and is 5'-11" long and looks to be a 30-40 lb rod. The numbers I could see look like.....PR60 C. The serial number is.. K29338 Does anyone have any info for me? That would be great! Thank you, Jeff

I put down yellow and black on the under wrap with two thick coats of finish over, Then I wrapped Red A over that and it looked great! But Too RED... Two questions- If I stay with the red and don't put CP on it will the color be a little less RED? What if I try Yellow in reg. or NCP over? with or without CP. The rod is wrapped in Yellow under and Black over with a spirial of black and red
