Good to see you, Bill. Besides, it saved us all the agony of a "where's
Bill" post.

Seriously, I hope all is well. If you need a break from the norm, you
know where I live - and it's almost unsolid water time.

Season opens weekend of the 28th. I've got to go up and try to get a trailer
for that drift boat I rescued, so if you're free you have my number.

"Repair" is quite a bit different from "restore." What, specifically,
are you trying to have done, and to what rod?

TC,
R

Ihave another nice bamboo I fish with
thanks

If that's the case, have you considered doing it yourself? It isn't
particularly difficult, and unless this is one of those $10,000.00USD
bamboo rods, there's not really anything to "mess up" permanently or
that can't be "undone," especially if you don't varnish the wraps until
you're satisfied with them. OTOH, if you simply aren't interested in
doing so, that's understandable...well, sort of, anyway.

IAC, if you are interested in doing it yourself, but simply aren't sure
how or where to begin, post as such.

TC,
R

Risky procedure. Uncomfortable even in best case scenario. Glasses or
contacts may suffice. Consult with your optometrist.

Gent,
by any chance were you referring to Master Rodsmith Francis DeGere,
better known as "Digger"? He's the only builder I know of from Adams
Massachusetts. In anycase he passed away in Nov. 1999.
