Question
Heddon 8389
Rich, I just acquired a glass Heddon Fly rod, model 8389, that is in wonderful condition. The butt cap is missing, however. Do you have any suggestions as to where I could find replacement parts? Thanks for any help you can offer.
AnswerSteve,
You might try Gary Dabrowski, Brookside Rod Co, at http://brooksiderod.tripod.com/
If he doesn't have them he probably knows who is making them.
You might join and ask members of the bamboo rod building community on line:
http://www.canerod.com/rodmakers/index.html
there are metal workers there that can probably duplicate your butt cap.
Also
