Cane fly rod restoral

[Paddler]

My first fly rod was a hardware store $6 Tonkin cane model. I was maybe 13 years old at the time, did some manual labor for an older neighbor to raise the money. I read Joe Brooks book, "The Complete Book of Fly Fishing" and learned the various casts. I could cast 60' in my front yard with the thing. Fly lines weren't numbered back then, but used letters to designate the tapers on each end and the middle section.

I wouldn't put that same $6 into the rod above. Use it as is or display it.
