So I am in the process of refinishing my first bamboo rod (an HI Spinner)...
Took all the necessary measurements, removed the pin from the butt cap. placed in ziplocked baggie, dunked in boiling water...AND....
The reel seat wont come off, tried and tried and tried. All the cork finally came off from the hear but the reel seat is still there it hasnt budged....
What am I missing, What should I do?!?!?!
HELP!
