Thanks to all! I just got back from a soggy camping trip, thank heavens for the camper van, and am trying to catch up on emails. I'll be working on the rod soon! And I promise updates!

Thanks Lastchance. Yes, I'm going to replace all the guides. I wasn't clear, I'll do one at a time. Any thoughts on changing the tip top? Do I "boil" it like I did the reel seat?
Thanks,
Mike

Okay, now that I'm done to a crutch sometimes, I need/want to get going on my rod rebuild. Thanks to you folks, I soaked the butt end, in a baggie, in hot water and was able to get the reel seat off...
