I have seen one guy on e-bay that offers rebuildt rods at a good price but without being a rod builder who knows about the quality of the components or quality of workmanship. I would like to have a bamboo rod one day but I'm not buying one because the price looks good.
You're a smart man texfly. Don't quite understand your question though?
And, before you buy that bamboo rod one day, please assure yourself of the taper for the fishing you'll be doing with it.

When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
