Today Matt teaches us how to remove a set and apply finish to a bamboo fly rod.

This video covers a ton of fly rod restoration skills. Many old bamboo rods have a set. That’s a permanent bend in the blank, and usually develops due to a rod being stored under tension. No worries, Matt Draft is here to show you how to fix it. Once that’s dome he’ll go on to apply a beautiful finish. Spoiler alert! At the end of the video you get to watch Matt polish the rod.
