		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been collecting split cane coarse fishing rods for restoration and use for quite a few years, and in that time I&#8217;ve handled rods from a lot of the well known and lesser known makers. When it comes to coarse cane rods, the &#8216;names&#8217; that everyone aspires to owning are Allcocks, B James and Milwards, [...]]]></description>

Having covered the various stages of restoring cane fishing rods in previous posts, I&#8217;ve been working on other projects, and doing lots of fishing of course! If you&#8217;ve been looking on ebay for cane fishing rods to restore you&#8217;ve probably noticed that although there are still [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now we have cleaned and prepared the cane sections we can start putting the rod back together.  The next stage is to whip rings on to the rod, whip over the ferrules and add the intermediate whippings to complete the cosmetics. After that we will seal the whippings and apply the varnish. You&#8217;ve probably noticed [...]]]></description>

Although these are not difficult to clean up if in good condition, its still possible to buy replacements for the sliding reel fittings, and I secured a good supply a while ago so I usually just replace them.

It can be a blessing, though, as the grime has been [...]]]></description>
