Hi..
Got myself a 2pc BM Pro Carbon 12ft G2 4 - 5oz rod I bought at Cash Crusaders for R899 some months ago.
Rod has thick eva foam grip as you would expect and guides not in complete excellent condition though should last for quite some time. Not sure what to do with rod as I have similar size rods that is my go to sticks.
Soo thinking of converting the rod to grinder rod but maybe bit by bit like different / better grip and guides for grinder fishing. Quality bits like these are not cheap and add to it cost for someone doing the rod.
Did not pay that amount for a second hand rod only.. it had a Fin Nor 16ofc attached in good nick along with a full spool of depth braid (4-600m) maybe.. attraction was the reel itself but was sold as a combo and might as well take the rod if I need a slightly shorter or longer rod compared to a 13,6 or 10ft rod.
Is it worth the conversion or is there quality affordable components for the rod. If best quality means might as well buy a complete blank with build then not worth it imo.
Not needed over night so can accumulate parts over time. Rod is very light and 24ton so a good blank even for the rock fishing. Also will shortening the rod not be a good idea as 12ft is slightly longer than I would ideally like and if so do I scrap the idea altogether?
