Hoping for some advice.
I just picked up a FY-508 8wt Wonderod made in 1975. There is a chip out of the tip of the grip just in front of where my thumb would go. Can someone suggest a fix for it? I have some wood putty, but I was wondering if some epoxy and dust from sanding down a cork ring would work and after it sets filing or sanding it. I could just leave it alone, as the rod is not collectable and will be a fishing rod for bass and maybe some saltwater.
I did some lawn casting with it today with a Cortland 7wt, which was not as good as a clear intermediate 8wt line, which was so sweet with this rod. Rod weighs 4.6oz, but it seems lighter in the hand than another Wonderod that I have (undetermined 3pc 8wt) that weighs 0.3oz less
