Title: Cracking film from 1974 showing cane rod manufacturing at Hardy.

Just found this archive film.

Starts off talking about casting etc (how things have changed) and then the complete manufacture of a cane rod from the bamboo in its dried state to the finished article.

Well worth watching

Pure class. Ah! Those where the days. Cane rods are great, everyone should have a couple of days on the water with one. All my rods are cane. Thanks for posting that gem
