Jed,

Why not redo the wrap? They are easy enough to remove if you are careful. Also, what resources are you using for building your first bamboo rod? I just might be interested in giving it a whirl myself. If I was still in Maine I could probably look to Kathy Scott and her husband David for a little help, but since I moved to Texas that's no longer the case.
