My friend has a bamboo rod his mother owned. It was likely used for atlantic salmon here on Cape Breton Island Nova Scotia. If anyone has any info about it that would be much appreciated.

I know nothing about bamboo but it appears to be in very good condition. Some thread is just starting to come undone on one of the guides.The only writing on it says.

Also It is likely very dry as it has been stored for many years. Before use should a wet sponge be kept with it to humidify the wood some.

Thanks
