ARUN Ring guide HELP
Hi
I've had a naked Arun for some time which I now wish to refurb, unfortunately as the Rod came to me completely naked (minus guides, whipping pattern etc) I am at a bit of a loss. Can anyone help me as I believe I have a Rod with good bones and I wish to do it justice.
Many thanks

Hopkins and Holloway will have guides and whipping thread to suit your needs!

Re: ARUN Ring guide HELP
Question - is it a Marco Arun or Ogden Simth? Mine is a Marco.

I also have a 12 foot MARCO Arun if you need any photos or measurements.

OK - pics after reading - I’ve just realised the post is in the Marco folder - I’m a twit!

Re: ARUN Ring guide HELP
Just pulled mine out; exactly the same ring spacing here. I don’t have a tip ring on mine so good to see the porcelain in the pic above. Also no lined butt ring so obviously a cheap end of the scale rod.
The whippings were also very coarse with the barest amount of varnish. Mine will be a much better finished rod once refurbished than when it left the shop.
