I think the discussion about rewrapping by Dleo is because of the few number of guides originally placed on the rod. Rewrapping the rod (and addding additional guides) will result in the rod having better fishfightn' action. This is the calculator for guide-placement that I've been using (refered by other builders of this site). I usually end up with 2 more guides on a 9'er than what was on before. You'll be able to decide whether you want to add more and rewrapping the entire rod.
Given that, I have left a rod alone and not rewrapped it because it was in such good condition but it still gets fished. Hey they would have fished it that way in the "old days".
