I am repairing a Heddon DeLuxe #35 fly rod. It is missing the butt reel seat. Anyone know where I can get one? Re: Reel seat for a Heddon bambo DeLuxe #35 fly rod.

Greetings Jim,
Suggestion on antique bamboo rods, I believe that Heddons as well as a few other famous makers products might lose value --if-- changes are made that dont conform to the products original specification. In short, any changes, however wellmeaning, might cause a loss in worth of that potential collectors item. And if you can possibly obtain a description of the 'originals' details, that description may be a useful guide in making your repairs. For example, some of the Heddons and other makers here can be valuable especially those in near pristine condition: <[www.uwm.edu]; Might want to find a competent appraiser.

I think it is called a BUTT CAP. Re: Reel seat for a Heddon bambo DeLuxe #35 fly rod.

Jim,
I've restored a lot of Heddons. The butt cap is the one part that on most rods is gone. I've gotten pretty good at making replacements. Drop me a line and we can maybe get you back in business Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
