oh ya I forgot to mention the blank was 19 years old at the time and was used every year for chunking and had caught many many fish and was actually on its second wrap.It doesn*t appear that blank life is a problem either from being wrapped spine up.It even had a small crush where the reel was tightened on it with the penn clamp when it just had wrapped cork handle. On the second wrap this was covered with an old varmac aluminun reel seat.
