Hardy Palakona Restoration of fly rod

#1

Post by Smchang55 »

Found a hardy palakona Fraser from 1930’s 9ft 3/2. Extremely over varnished and missing guides. Found replacement guides. Wondering what silk was used and color schemes. The silk guide wrap clearly is red. Intermediate wraps all intact, one is red, other cant tell but won’t remove. Will pain stakingly use denatured alcohol to strip between intermediates and guides.
