agbff Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 Parents were just over in there homeland visiting the whole team... my uncle sent back a bamboo fly rod. This thing is ancient... came from one of my uncles friends who's grandfather had passed and they found this in his basement. It isn't more then 9 feet and the guides, which were bound on with string, are broken or look like they should break soon. I was wondering where or if there is a place in Calgary that i would be able to take it in and get it fixed up thanks andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
