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 Norm Rose
