‘Bamboo Fly Rods’

I just bought a bamboo fly rod. I don’t want to put silk line on it for several reasons.I found a modern fly line with the same quality’s as silk with out the hassle,but it’s not for sale anywhere. I even looked at the Cortland company store, no dice. can someone tell me where to look for it because I’m at a loss.

My grandpa had a crap load of old poles from the early 30s and 40s if not earlier than that and they are taking up my shed room ! lol. But he has regular poles….some that now i guess we would call ugly sticks…but these old Bamboo fly rods Id like to know more about.And willing to get rid of some of them unless I just display them somewhere.Would sure appreciate another Fishing Fan to give me some input. I LOVE to fish and always have.But I dont fly fish.Hey….a bad day of fishin is a good day of drinkin. lol. ANyone know a thing about the old rods ?

Two Tips,Original Cloth Bag and Metal Tube. Excellent Condition

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

Do not know manufacturer. Got it at a garage sale. Actually, looking for line weight. My guess is that the 3 in the serial number is the number of sections and the 9 is the rod length.

Only identifying mark is a signature at the base that looks like it may be–Governor—
