In doing a complete fishing rod restoration, we strip the rod of all guides and wrappings. The cost of a light restoration is significantly less due to the time and materials involved. Optionally, we can also wrap the guides using any color and style of your choosing.Дuring a light restoration, we do a deep clean of the cork or wooden grips. We would remove and then clean and polish all guides and rewrap the guides using the original color and style of the rod. This would involve lightly wet sanding with ultra-fine sandpaper to remove most of the ground-in dirt, grease, and marks and then coming over it with a clear rod varnish to protect the blank. We can do 'light' rod restoration or a 'complete' rod restoration.ДЄ 'light' restoration involves cleaning your existing rod blank without repainting the blank. Goose Creek Rod & Reel has two options to choose from for vintage fishing rod restorations. If thatвЂ™s not possible, weвЂ™ll mask over the existing label in order not to lose the identifying marks. In some cases, we may be able to obtain new labels and graphics. If rust is too severe, we will try to obtain like-new replacements for those pieces.ДЇor vintage and antique reels, if requested, we can sand and strip the remaining paint and repaint it as closely as possible to the original color. If so, we will take that route first, using a Dremel tool and a buffering or polishing wheel and chrome polish to a highly reflective shine on chrome and metal pieces. We then clean or replace drag washers and bearings, returning the reel to tip-top shape, like the day it was manufactured.Д®xternally, we inspect the reel to see if any rust can be removed with chemicals and/or sanding or buffering. Any non-metal pieces are washed and scrubbed by hand. We will then buff the metal components to a slick, high shine and regrease with recommended reel grease and lubricating oils. We completely disassemble the reel, remove all the old grease and oils by first soaking in a degreaser and then placing in an ultra-sonic cleaner. That includes projects currently in-house.

One way I have used to price items is to put them on ebay with a high reserve price. Also, I have a number of Herter's rods and reels. My dad also had a True Temper rod, but his model aw Great Lakes. I think these were the main outlets for the rods. Mine was bought at a local hardware store. Recently, I got new guides put on it and started using again for bass, panfish and walleyes. I have Montague casting rod I got for my 12th birthday in 1960. I have no idea of the value but will keep looking. I have the same rod, mine is a 6' Montague Sixty Five made by True Temper. I have one the same as yours but has no marks any were if you could help lt me need info Also, the tip on yours is a different style than mine. Sometime ago someone told me the wood on the handle is oak. Mine were bought at a True Value store years ago. I haven't been able to find a value on these rods but would guess not a whole lot being from True Temper. Mine has a True Temper sticker on the rod, placed directly on the other side of Montague 65-10 5'10'. I have three rods which look very familiar to your photos.
