Cane Restorers/Fabricaters

[GeoffT]

G'day All

I acquired some years back, a Hardy NeoCane in near unfished condition, but of course with a broken tip.

I am hoping to make contact with rod restorers/fabricaters in the Ottawa area, that may be able to fashion a new section for me. It is a beauty of a rod and would love to see it in proper order.

At the same time I acquired a Hardy Palokona Spey (1952 - The Wey) which is showing signs of drying and needs attention too.

If anyone has any leads to someone who may be able to help me it would be appreciated.

Cheers

Geoff

Hello Geoff,

Below are 2 sites that might be able to help you.

Hipwader is a fly fishing and tying forums. Some people make their own rods. So some may know of a fly rod maker, But some will know of a cane supplier and cane suppliers might know of rod makers.

At Classic fly rod, they appear to know it all.There is a category for what you seek.

Carp-starter – and good luck. I am hoping that you will find what you are looking for at one of the 2 sites.

I am sorry that I somehow generted a second copy of the same post.

So, I am deleting the second one.

t.y. - carp-starter

I think it is because this site is very slow.

Thank you for the links, I will look into them.

I specifically posted to this board because of the large number of Ottawa area members.

I hope to find someone in the area to avoid shipping rods through the post for inspection/estimates ...

Cheers
