I was recently given two old bamboo fly rods. I don't see any trademark, dates, or makers mark on either. One is missing a guide, the tip top is bad, and it needs cleaning up. The other needs a reel seat and a couple of guides. These are three piece rods and each has two tip sections. My question; should I clean them up, replace missing guides and fish them or leave them be? Is there any value to these things or any reason that I should not attempt to restore and fish them?
