Everybody mentions Testors paint for marbling. It's getting hard to get where I live, so I need to ask, has anyone used Tamiya enamel for marbling?

Seeing the sleeve definitely confirmed my initial suspicion that it wasn't a high end rod lol. But it means something to my buddy, so I'll do what I can to make him happy with it. Thank you for the information, Tom. I really appreciate it!

That fits the description perfectly. Very interesting, thank you, Tom. I can see why this would have been a common practice for many.

Now that I've got it stripped down as far as I reasonably need to, I've found that there is a metal sleeve underneath the grip and reel seat. The reel seat is serviceable and only needs a bit of cleaning, but the rest of this rod is going to be brand new. I tried looking on Daiwa's website, but there aren't even any fly rods listed on there. It makes me wonder just how old this thing really is.

I didn't even know I could do that... I'm trying to find out if the whole blank was coated with shellac or some other finish.

Is there somewhere we can look up information on a factory built rod? I'm refurbishing a Daiwa Swinger 2646 8½ ft 8wt fly rod for a buddy, and I'd like to have some idea what was done, if possible
