  1. Hi Dave,
    Do you sell bamboo rod blanks?
    I would be interested in purchasing a set from you and comforted in knowing they are hand made in the USA.

  2. I have a vintage Hardy Bros. Bamboo Rod from the 50s in pristine condition. Do you know of a good source for selling this?

  3. Hello there Dave my name is john and I live in colorado and love fishing for smaller trout and bass and I would love to get a bamboo switch rod for that purpose. I think bamboo is a great material for fly rods and really love your work and I’m wondering how can I get my hands on one of these rods

  4. I own one of the last Powel built rods, bought it new in mid 70s, it is a steelhead drift rod built to fish wit a casting reel….The ferrel needs to be replaced….Can you? Would you repair.

    • Hi Tom,

      Sorry, but I don’t do rod repairs. It looks like you’re in the Portland area from you IP address. You might check with Dennis Stone (www.stonerodco.com) in McMinnville. He does repairs. Or, check with your local fly shop… I’ll bet Joel LaFollette at Royal Treatment Fly Fishing (www.royaltreatmentflyfishing.com) in West Linn could point you towards someone in the Portland area who can help you out.

  5. I have a Powel drift rod build w/ casting guide….2 piece/9ft….The ferrel needs to be replaced….Can you/Will you help me out?

  6. Hi Dave, I’m wrapping guides and I like your idea of using the bobbin for tension. However I would like to know if you have ever put trim wraps on the inside feet of a guide and would you put down the main wrap before doing the inside trim wrap? Or, could you do the trim wrap on the inside foot before the main wrap?

    • Hi William,

      Great question. I haven’t tried putting a trim wrap on the inside of a guide yet. But, I think I would put the main wrap down first, and then the inside trim wrap. My reasoning is this: If you put the inside trim wrap down first, then as you complete your main wrap up at the edge of the trim wrap, you might get a slight gap between thread wraps. But if you did, it might be possible to pack the trim wrap up tight against the main wrap to eliminate any gaps. I always wrap my main wrap up the guide foot (start down on the bamboo) because it helps minimize any slight gaps in the threads. If you put your trim wrap down first, and then started your main wrap at the edge of the trim wrap and continued it down the guide foot, you’ll likely get a gap in the thread as you drop off the foot onto the bamboo…hope that makes sense! That said, it would certainly be easy to try either method to see how it works. Please let me know how this works for you as I’m pretty interested in your results.

      Dave
