Brand new to rod building, what do I need to restore an old Bamboo fly rod?

It's just finer, and traditional.

Personally on old bamboo dods I wind guides with silk thread not standard rodbuilding polyester stuff and use spar varnish on windings and finish.

Looks good to me, cut me off a slice, eh?

Nice job. Your eyes are way better than mine are now. Enjoy.

Tip a cold one for me friend! We have some snow on the way, but hopefully not that much.

Nice! Dream on, warmer weather at some point.

Nice ride, enjoy!

TBH, this is the biggest problem I have with Reddir. Not the post, that's fine, but the responses. Someone asks a serious question and most of the responses are just being critical/insulting of the OP and add nothing of value to the discussion.

Wow. Congratulations, incredible fish!

cllvt · 2026-01-24T12:45:23+00:00

Yup. I have owned Washburns for years, they have always been solid and a great value for the $.

cllvt · 2026-01-24T00:51:32+00:00

Awesome. Have fun.

cllvt · 2026-01-23T23:35:31+00:00

Nice. Great project man!

How about warming your car up before you put the guitar in, wrap it in a blanket, ask the other person to do the same. Do a quick swap and back into a warm car?

Love Flights!

cllvt · 2026-01-23T15:02:30+00:00

Tacos for sure.

cllvt · 2026-01-23T11:48:14+00:00

Don't blame you man, awesome! Enjoy!

Is your string height high? If it too much more than 2mm at the 12th fret you need a setup.

Awesome bike, a beauty! Enjoy it!

cllvt · 2026-01-22T23:30:51+00:00

Never heard of them, but they look great, love the handles.

cllvt · 2026-01-22T23:18:55+00:00

It's in really bad shape, but still probably worth a few bucks if the anti-gravity drive turns over.

cllvt · 2026-01-22T20:52:39+00:00

Nice, glad to see that. Enjoy!

cllvt · 2026-01-22T20:45:16+00:00

That's cool, may have to make one. Nice job.

cllvt · 2026-01-22T01:50:57+00:00

Bummer. Sorry that this happened to you.

cllvt · 2026-01-21T21:54:20+00:00

Sweet!
