The first SB rod I picked up was a # 47 with red and gold wraps. I thought that rod was a block of lead. That # 47 is tip heavy to me, well the # 59 with a 6-inch cork grip would be even more tip heavy than the # 47. That 6-inch grip changes the placement of your hand back an inch making the rod even more tip heavy. I picked up the # 59 to fish so I want to find out …
How do you remove the plastic reel seat without damage to the bamboo?
Thank you, Will C
