A friend of mine found a Shakespear A 1305 B 9' 3 pc rod at a garage sale for $10.00. It has a spring loaded reel seat!?
I told him I try to find more info on it and he want's me to restore it. The tip and middle section are stuck togather and after removing a couple of feet of electrical tape from the tip section we found some 2 to 3" splits. Which I think came from a car door or trunk lid.
The tip section is crooked and the wraps are in bad shape. This can be fixed.
With the exception of the split's I'd say this is a restorable rod. Those bother me, can they be re-glued and then re-inforced with a 3" wrap?
