Walt, Do yourself a favor. Do'nt tell anyone you can restore old rods.My basement is full of them. Send me a pre paid mailer, the guide and tip/top sizes you need . Sweat that fuerill off and size that up too.I think I have what you need. It looks like a 6ft boat rod with a mooching reel on it. (you can tell by the swevil base on the reelfeet.) I dont believe that reel belongs on there. Too short

Chris, Here in Raritan Bay (NJ) a 9' one piece soft blank is the ticket. When a spoon is in tune it has a mind of its own and the blank will telegraph its message to everyone onboard. The problem is finding that blank. At one time AMTAK sold a blank that was ideal for this porpose ,But for some reason has dropped them from their line. It was an E-glass blank #ESW761 H. I have a few left in my ro

Mo, I would have to say that 99% of the 1pc rods I get for repair are broken from 1" to 3" behind the tip. Why ,I cant tell you,I dont get the story.

Joe and Tom, The correct part # is LSH- 60(7") ,LSH-95 (8 1/4"), and LSH-140 (11") . I know , because back in the 70's anything Lew's was HOT in the circles of bass fishing and so was I. Rods with those handles could not be had here in NJ unless you built em' . I still have one complete rod built on an early ultra lite (1pc) Ugly Stick back in 1976. Check with Neal's or Summer Mo
