Bamboo rod making was my obsession before bicycles. Ever notice how a Hardy/Orvis CFO sounds like a Suntour freewheel?

That rod has been fished just once since I got it. It was re-finished by Dwight Lyons about 25 years ago. Before I obtained it. Guys of his caliber are not known to sand classic grips, but he may have cleaned it a bit. I certainly haven't had the opportunity to soil it much. And, since I moved here, fewer chances still.
