Fiberglass and midges

[flygoddess]

Depending on the rod, Grand dad bamboo is nothing like Grand Dad glass. Bamboo was about all they had back then for fly fishing. There are a few that are collectors items but most were cheap, long and clubby. Worth refinishing if needed for keep sake but about it. They aren't fun to fish with. I tried my grand fathers and I literally had to put lead trolling line on a reel for backing to balance it out.
As for building, at least you can get the guides straight [laugh]
Probably best to dip the whole thing when done.
