That rod is in beautiful shape. I would have loved to have had an outfit like that in the 50s. My dad wasn’t into the out of doors so all I had was really crappy stuff until I could earn enough to buy my own gear. Nice to see it still in action! Enjoy it! (That said, I still have that crappy rod out in the garage!)

Another product you can use to protect your cork grips is called Tru-Oil. It is linseed oil with some additives. Orginal used for wood gun stocks but does a terrific job on cork rod handles. Got it on all my rod handles.

Here is a 20 year old rod I just cleaned the handle up and put tru-oil on. It really helps keeping your cork grips clean.
