A customer brought me a vintage Bamboo Bay rod to semi-restore. I have been looking for the right butt cap for this but so far haven't found it. The rubber cap is only about an inch long and slips over the wooden ring at the butt. If anyone knows where I can find such a cap I would greatly appreciate any input.

Hello Tom.

They are Mushroom Butt Caps and are hard to find, the last time I bought some (20) was in January from "Fishing Tackle Unlimited", P/n: FTU-RBC-1 FTU-Rubber Butt Cap.

They were about $2.00 Ea.

Tight Wraps & Tighter Lines.

P.S. If any Sponsors on here sell them let us all know.

Bob,

New Bern, NC.
