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:

Might want to find a competent appraiser.
