Bamboo fly rod and need part.

Question
I have a bamboo 3pc w/2 tips, 9ft, Has a little decal of a sailing ship and the name Mayflower, like a crest decal about the size of a dime. Having a hard time finding out about it. Need the middle female ferrule. All hardware is chrome and it is at least 90% condition. Would you have any ideas on and is there anyone to get a ferrule from. Thank You, Terry

Answer
Terry,
I am doubting you are going to find a maker or model on this rod because it is Japanese

Parts - I have them - Measure the rod where the female is missing - I sell chrome platted brass with shipping for $10 ( a pair) they use 64ths but a decimal is fine - e-mail [email protected] for details.

I know it is Japanese because I have seen the ship and Mayflower on many rods in boxes. They are probably not even Tonkin cane.

Originally sold by the thousands to GIs in a light long box with lures and huge flies . Mostly considered trinkets by collectors but memorial to GIs , they have little resale or fishing value. I have never seen any written history on them in English except the following. http://www.maxrod.net/article/
There is  a book  on Goggle books, with a little history  and a  limited preview: Bamboo In Japan by Nancy Moore Bess

Luck,
Mac
