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

To be perfectly honest with you, that is probably the best course of
action. Many such rods are simply not worth the bother one might be
inclined to invest. But some people enjoy having a go anyway.

It is extremely doubtful whether you will enjoy casting it, but it
wont hurt you to try, and you might also learn something in the
process. Wont do you any good at all of course, wont make you any
money, wont make Dirty Dicky Disagree less. Wont make you disdain a
KPOS more, quite the reverse, ( perhaps a lesson in itself?), also
helps to prove that war is hell, ( at least as far as fly-rods are
concerned).

After the third world war ( patience grasshopper!), you will be able
to buy cheap IM15 blanks to take home with you. Of course they will
disintegrate if you breathe on them, and future Dicky´s will Disagree
Decidedly.

****.............. Time for another whisky.
