I've received a couple of other replies that say the same thing: probably a cheap Japanese import. I think I'll probably still go ahead and rebuild it since it would be a really inexpensive way to get myself a bamboo rod... and as far as how well it performs - there's one way to find out!

I wouldn't expect much, but, hey, if it casts well for you, use it. The usual method for straightening bamboo involves heating the section gently and bending it straight.
