CFM chuck123wapati Posted March 14 Author CFM Report Posted March 14 So anyway I haven't spent the winter totally hibernating. I have a couple of old bamboo fly rods I bought off eBay years ago, last fall while in another town i bought another from a thrift store. It turned out the tip was broken but the silver lining was a beautiful red agate stripping guide a vintage sock and the original aluminum case. long story short I built two rods out of the three. I see some leather cases in my future lol.

Bravo, Good Sir. thanks, i feel the same as you the one has a date of 3/33 maker unknown on it the other was an old Montague both the wood was in excellent and when refinished they are beautiful. That old workmanship on what was once a lower quality rod is as good as any. I cant wait ti try them out lol the water is still to hard here. New reelseats handles and eyes complety scraped down with ten coats of try oil and japanese silk thread. When you afford cool sometimes you gotta make your own cool. The main reason o got into leather work btw.
