Heddon Black
Fly rod needs new grip?
I have a Heddon Black Beauty fly rod. The cork grip basically dry rotted and has completely fallen off of it. However, the reel seat is still there. I have looked into ordering replacement grips but dont have a good idea of how to get them onto the rod. My best thought is to remove the guides and slide the grip over the front. However, I have no idea really how the guides are attached. They look to be attached by some sort of tape (it is for sure not thread or glue). Does anyone have any thoughts or any ideas about this? I am fairly new to this so any help is greatly appreciated
Dear bobzafish, If I'm going to help you, you'll probably need to contact me through yahoo at muneymouse@yahoo.com if you rather not contact me, than contact Russ or Erica Gooding at 717.738.7330 or email@ info@goldenwitch.com http://www.goldenwitch.com/index.html I would not do any work on the rod for the reason you're not experienced and its probably a rare and expensive Fly Rod. You've not given enough information for I to decipher if it is a rare Fly Rod or a high value. For whatever its worth don't do any repair on it yet, till you have better knowledge of it. I'm also able to furbish you, a local Rodbuilder who is expert in working with your Fly Rod in your area or near.. As for the tape, no Fly Rod of that era or now is wrapped with tape. It might look like tape but its silk. Unless someone added tape because the silk either was removed or a change of snake guide or stripping guide. Photos will probably be needed to ascertain the problem. When I say its possible it can be a rare Fly Rod or a high value, I meant worth $400 and up.
