can anyone give me any info on a split bamboo fly rod called african steel cane? I can not find anything on it?
it has more writing under these words but I can not make them out. I am 51 y/o and this rod was my great grand dads. it is in mint condition and I would like to know more about it. any info would be greatly appreciated. thank you Robb
it was (is) an inexpensive split cane rod with a tempered steel rod running up the center. if in good condition, it may have some collector's value.
