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 got the rod, making the repair job a little easier. I had to get the reel seat off, strip the old arbors and cork, ream out the new cork grips to size, make new tape arbors and glue them all to the blank. Do you have any rods that could come out of retirement with some repair work? Learn how to bring those rods back to life from Mud Hole! #mudholetackle #customrods
