I recently received a bamboo rod that was purchased at a garage sale, (they of course asked no questions b/c a rod is a rod right?!)
It’s very nice they thought of me. it's definitely seen some water and would need to be refurbished if I was going to use it. there are no markings on the rod it's self but the bottom of the reel seat I believe says "harnell" inside a fish outline, I was able to find very little online, but I’m now fairly certain of the name. The guides are rusty, the ferrules are unglued, and the tip is bent. Can it be refurbished? And is it worth anything? Or will it be better suited to hanging on the wall? Any leads on who could do said work? I know a lot of Asian bamboo rods were made around that time. Thanks in advance for any help.
