I wouldnt even remotely consider using stock rods. Better off buying all new stuff in a kit. Pricewise likely little difference
Stock rods, no matter how much purists try to make them seem like Oliver Rods, are friggin 50 years old.
I would use a new Scat H beam rod WAY before stock rods, no matter how much they were upgraded with new bolts, etc, etc…. And not think twice.
Did i mention 50 years old…
