Redoing the cork grips on an old St. Croix Premier rod with components from Mud Hole The rear cork grip was already removed when i get the rod, making my job a little easier. I had to get the reel seat off, strip the arbors and old cork, ream out the new cork grips to size, make new tape arbors and glue them all to the blank. Would you trust me to repair your rod? #mudholetackle #customrods #rodrepair #reelseatrepair #stcroixrods #fishingrod #fishingrodrepair
