Home Forums Fishing Saltwater 1930s SPLIT BAMBOO SALTWATER ROD HELP NEEDED

Friends,

Last week I was given a 74" long split-bamboo boat rod, that I plan to restore for display IF I can find the proper period guides for it.
(The tip-top guide is there & in good shape, so I need just five of the other guides.)

The rod, reel seat & handle are in GREAT shape, for a saltwater boat-rod that's likely nearly 8 decades years old. - Even the finish on the bamboo is in good shape.

Do any of you know where I can get the proper style of guides for restoring the rod??
(I would prefer a set of top/guides with real agate inserts.)

Also, I'm now looking for a suitable saltwater reel of the same era, IF anyone has such a relic "laying about".

MERRY CHRISTMAS from both of us.

yours, tex
