Bamboo flyrod
 

A neighbor of mine gave me a bamboo fly rod that belonged to his father.
The name on the butt is KIRAK . It had been in his garage for 30 or 40 years
in Florida. He's
80 years old and he doesn't remember when his father got it . It's a 3 piece
rod with an extra tip that came in a wooden box.
I believe its japanese made.The top ferrule of the butt section is loose and
I would like to reglue it.
any advice as to glue ( I was thinking Gorilla glue ???) I would like to try
to use the rod but there
is no line weight specified on the rod Also should I varnish it before using
it ? I would appreciate
any information about the rod and any suggestions about caring for it and
type and weight of line.
Thanks
