wanted - bamboo spinning rod

[Jim Madden]

I'm looking for a bamboo spinning (not fly or baitcast) rod of 6 feet to maybe 6 and a half, probably medium action. Condition does not have to be perfect. I can rewrap guides. If you have something that fits, give me a shout. Thanks, Jim

I have a rod that might fit what you are looking for.I have a Gene Edwards "deluxe". The rod is 2/1 and measures 6', 11" and was made that way, it is all orig. I can't speak to the action as I've never fished it. On the down side, if you are going to fish this rod all the guides plus the tip top on the tip section will have to be replaced as they are groved.
The cost of the rod would be $125 plus shipping and insurance.

Bruce, the response on this board has been so good that I've already got two. I do appreciate you're thinking of me, but I'm good for now. The rod sounds like a great project for somebody. Merry Christmas all! Jim

Guess I'm also too late, as I have a couple of interesting spin rods... a quad by Luxor/Edwards and a rare Heddon made spinning rod. At first, Michael Sinclair told me they never made spinning rods... Never say never...

I think I have an Orvis one and one or two crazy rare ones... It's been years since I've seen them in my vast pile of cane, but I think I have one by PH Young or Leonard or Thomas... I no longer remember which maker but only that I was shocked when I came across it...

Never say never, Darrell if you want to move some of those rods, drop me an email with pics/specs and maybe we can do some business!
