I dont think you are ready to put new eyes on your rod, so some care is going to be required..
waxing those eyes will help stop the rust pitting, wax it after every use. especialy when you are putting it a way for a few weeks...
it will also reduce any friction on the line.
bees wax, any candle wax... "not car wax"
we use rods like that for trolling in the great lakes. fishing off the board walks along the detroit and st clair rivers where the current is pretty heavy...
best to use the reel mentoned in prior replys...... you will be further ahead if you do...
