[QUOTE="bigwave, post: 300889, member: 7537"] We do it all the time, you have to weigh out the cost of new components vs what rod is worth. If you want to do it for sentimental reasons or the blank itself is worth something, go for it. You can remove all components, we use a heat gun to brittle up the epoxy, then we very carefully remove the thread with an exacto knife. Here is an example of one we recently made new again. Keep in mind this is a very old Harnel blank......even in its current state the owner could easily get 200-300 bucks for the blank. He is the original owner and this rod is 30+ years old.....solid glass grouper digger......very common set-up for west central Florida. Total cost of the rebuild was 125 bucks. Now the rod is brand new again. [/QUOTE]
