The blank for this rod was an old rod that someone else had started to restore.  He had stripped the rod and installed a new reel seat and grip.  I refinished it and completed the rebuilding with new ferrules, guides, and winding check.  The bamboo is in excellent condition and the rod is now ready for several more decades of fishing.  This is a good looking rod and is easy to cast.  The length is 8 feet I think casting is best with a 5 weight line.  Here is an opportunity to purchase a "new" bamboo fly rod at a really good price.  Thanks for looking.
