Old Bamboo Fly Rod Repair

Recommended Posts

I need some help with a project. I have an old bamboo fly rod that i want to refurbish from top to bottom. What is the best way to remove the old handle,seat,furels, and rod finish, and also the tip on the rod has a bow in it. Is there a way to strighten the tip.

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

Not much web information available on the web, but I did find this book that may be worth a read before you start.

 

I did seriously look into making a split cane rod when I was a lad, but lack of a workshop and glass blanks became readily available, I changed my mind.

 

I could tell you how I would go about the job, but I would only be guessing and would not want to lead you astray.
