Fly rod restoration?
Posted: Wed Oct 24, 2012 6:19 pm
I inherited a couple of old bamboo fly rods from my Great Grandfather. they aren't in horrible shape but after sitting in my parents basement for 35+ years, they need some restoration. I'm not looking to fish with them, just to showcase them on my wall. They are Octagonal 3-piece bamboo and they are missing a few tippets and the others are rusted. The cork is decent...
I know nothing about building or restoring rods (and I don't want to ruin 100 year old rods learning). Can anyone recommend a good rod builder in the Tampa Bay area that could restore these for me?
Thanks
Kurt
