Hi great video.I have been fishing for a very long time but I’m fairly new to fly fishing and have now at least ten fly rods some are cane ones.I find you easy to understand and follow just what I have been looking for can’t wait for the next one 👍 Cheers Steve. UK
Hi, I have a 3 piece bamboo rod with two extra tips(they all match perfectly in construction and color). I purchased on ebay years ago it was advertized as never being used and by the looks of it I would say that is true. The fly rod is a Montague Lake Pleasant and It was a cheap rod in it's day, it has a horrible quailty grip and reel seat and the female ferrule on the butt section was rapped completely in thread hiding a crack, my guess is the manufacturer did this knowing the weakness of the cheap ferrules. I would like to replace the grip, reel seat and butt section ferrule so any advice would be appreciated.
What about if the blank has a ferrule into the handle and reel seat? Like the handle and reel seat are a separate section is there anything that can be done there? Maybe cutting off the ferrule and seating it like a regular rod?
@@ToniBoordane Considering Garrison only made about 620 rods in his life time. and the last one i saw being sold on the internet went for a little over 21 thousand. I doubt Grand Pa had one stuck in his garage. That's like finding a Faberge' Egg in your attic.
@@patrickhill2258 more than just Garrison’s go for absurd prices. I’m in bidding wars right now for a few bamboo fly rods of very modest manufacturers and they don’t stop. All you need is two people.
@@ToniBoordane I fish the Catskills,that's where most of high end rod builders were way back when. I go to garage sales, flea markets. I would Love to see a Leanord or a Payne in pretty good shape even an Orvis or an Edwards. All i find are busted up Montague, HI or South Bend occasionaly I've found a Heddon in fair condition with a 500-700 price tag like it's a #50 President but in reality a BB. I would LOVE to know where you go garage selling😂 And when they have a high end like a Winston or FE Thomas, do they know what it is?
Thank you! Excellent & very informative. Very much looking forward to watching all of your videos.

Hi, great intro, looking forward to the series
Tis good advice short tipped rods generally fish just fine, very hard to sell them though.
