Short form: what is the traditional adhesive used to attach ferrules
to bamboo fly rods, say 40-50 years ago? Long form: I've got a bamboo fly rod, which originally belonged to my grandfather. Grampa had a tendency to want to think of himself as a sportsman, though he actually did very little in the field -- I'm fairly confident this rod has never been used (I'm a spin-fisherman, and besides, by the time I got it, it had already been sitting around without use for long enough I'd be afraid to have a trout on it). It is, at a guess, 50 years old. I took it out the other day to show it to my daughter (she fell in with a bad crowd in Taos and took up fly-fishing), and when I broke it down again, one of the ferrules came detached from the rod. I'd like to reattach it, and since its value is entirely sentimental I'd like to do it with the "right" adhesive, not the best one for the job (else it would have been epoxied by now!). Thanks, |
