Question on traditional bamboo rod windings

[flymaker2]

Good deal Rich.

Would like to see some pictures?Sonny,Are there any identifying marks on your rod?
Perhaps the tube?Would love to see pictures of any other bamboo rods you own.Bob

Bob/All:

Well this is my first-ever bamboo fly rod and I am excited; sure enough!



The only other bamboo rod I own is an old 7 foot, one piece beef stick meant for boat or surf in SW I think. It is a Montaque Dreadnaught. I had a fellow semi-restore it. Put new guides and wraps on it.



Does anyone know the meaning of the word "Palakona" ?

Thanks,
Rich
