Redoing Eyes on Rods for 2010
OK I am looking into redoing my rods for 2010. I'm having a heck of a time finding the right color/type of rod. I found the right color but its a spinning rod, I need a casting rod. If I buy the rods is there a kit I can buy to re-do the eyes?

Do you mean buying a new spinning rod and taking off all the guides and the reel seat and converting it into a casting rod? While I'm sure that "can" be done I don't think that's something that would be worth the time or the effort. You're best bet would be to look at some rod building suppliers websites and try to find the blank you are looking for. Take it to a custom rod builder or buy all the components to build it yourself. If you've never built a rod before do a google search and read as much as you can and get an idea of what it takes to build a rod.

I think it'd be more trouble than it's worth. Especially with a spinning reel seat. Under it, you'll most likely have graphite arbors that you've have to remove since it isn't tight to the blank like a casting seat.
From your name, I'm going to assume you want a pink rod. Correct me on this if I'm wrong. I normally don't recommend St. Croix rods, but they do have a new Avid Pearl series. I'd check those out. http://stcroixrods.com/product/avid-pearl BB

Mudhole also has a line of blanks that they offer in pink and purple. It would still be up to you to get the rest of the rod assembled but that would be far easier than doing a re-do on an already put together rod.

Gulity.... I am looking for pink rods. How come you don't normally recommend St.Croix? Aside from the price tag what i have read on them they seem to be decent rods.

I think I found exactly what you are looking for. American Rodsmiths makes great rods. These aren't too terribly expensive and probably a much better bet than trying to build your own.

Well after checking the web for pink rods, and talking to my husband and my bait monkey(who has alot to say about rods as well as baits) I think i am going to go with St.Croix, they make a very nice pink rod. Howe ever if i win the powerball i am SOOO going to this fellow... http://www.RedtailRods.com . He is amazing, and he can make a dream rod for any fisherman. I totally suggest checking him out of you want a custom rod.
