My mother and father had a "his and hers" set that they used in the post-war 40's and 50's. I have one of them and my youngest brother has the other. I'd like to fish with the one I have again also.
Granpa would appreciate his kin using and appreciate his equipment. If they were well treated, a simple "tune up" may be all that's required.Bah, grandpa would be outraged at the price of a new bamboo rod, it would be doing him right to have em fixed up, it's what he woulda done
Besides for a new bamboo rod... What, 6,7,800+$?
I'd break an old rod just as easily as a new rod, so, might as well get some enjoyment out of the old ones, and it would be a once or twice a year rod almost exclusively for small fish
It's not a matter of whether I want a bamboo rod, rather, I just happen to be getting two really old rods that if at all possible, I'd like to fish with
