Greetings,
Now that winter is coming up fast here in PA, I'd like to start tackling one of the projects that I've had for a time. I'd like to restore a 50-60 year old bamboo rod. I have no idea who made the rod as well as what weight it might be. All I know is that my step-father gave me two of them that he bought at a local hardware/sporting goods store in the early 1950's. They seem to be in fairly Ok condition, but with some minor flaws like guide wrappings coming apart and the ferruls not fitting together too well. Is there any where (here or otherwise) that will take me through this step by step so I don't mess it up? Also, is it possible to convert one of the rods from a 9 footer to a 6 footer? Around here 9 ft. is actually too long. My meaning of 'by around here', I fish the Yellow Breeches, Big Spring, Letort and Clarks.
Thanks and Good Fishin'
Rev. Mike
