a coworker of mine brought in a bamboo rod today in a thin wooden case. PRobably form the forties or so. The last two sections are in mint condition where as the handle area is not. What do I look for in deciding if it is rebuildable to fishing capacity. Also he says it is a fly rod but i am not sure. It has no weight markings on it and the cork handle stretches5 inches below the reel seat. Did they make bamboo spinning or bait casting rods? Can you convert one of them into a fly rod? Any help is appreciated , I would love to get a bamboo and maybe restore it.
