Was gifted a bamboo rod by one of my coworkers.
He bought it at a yard sale in 1976. Was old then he said. Smells old.
No branding or marking. He had it rewrapped and shellac'd a while back.
Is it normal for the top section to be bowed to one side like this?
Definitely a limp noodle of a rod. I've never held a bamboo rod until now.
Assuming slower casting? And other quirks to em?
