About safety a lot of chemacals can affect your system in many ways Even contact with small amounts many times over time one year- 5 years 10 years can be deadly at any time in any part of your internals, all chemicals will affect you to one degree or another.

This is a rod his father built for him 20 some odd years ogow he has since passed. He just wanted to keep it as close as posable as it was, Prity emotional seen when he has the rod in his hands. He beats himself up pritty good for beating the rod over the years, dont take the little things in life for granted they only come around once and they can become pritty important later on. rear grip

A frend of mine wants me to rebuild his salt rod. My question, the rod has a foam for grip and he has a habbit of setting his hooks in it every now and again, is there a product that you can fill the holes and match colers, or is it trash He likes the grip if i can salvage it. thank you all in advance for ypour help.
