Problem, just completed my second rod and it looks great, but it just don't feel right. Rod #1 feels and cast great but realy looks bad compared to Rod #2. Rod #1 was built on a $65 blank and Rod #2 on a discount blank, I had a realy difficult time on Rod #2 finding the spine, the tip section had two humps about 30 deg apart.
My question, how difficult is it to stip down rod #1, I will need to remove the cork grip also since I would like to upgrade it.Or since it works well should I leave it as is instead rish damaging it?
