I am in search of someone to replace guides and ferrules on a bamboo rod that was gifted to me. It has no markings on it, so I am not sure of the maker. With that being said, I am not sure I want to invest a ton of money into the rod. I was wondering if anyone on the forum would be interested in replacing the ferrules and guides. The second rod segment is also warped and if there is a relatively inexpensive way to heat the blank/straighten, I would be interested in that also. I am in the Altoona region, but could certain send the rod through mail. It has a beautiful flamed blank but is currently not fishable due to the metal corrosion/rust. I would also consider getting a new rod made from the blank, but my guess is that it is not a very valuable bamboo blank. Send me a "private message" if anyone is interested or able to do this. I was hoping to spend between $100-200 to get it in fishable condition. Thanks.
