Looking for any info on the bamboo fly rod,

This is the board to ask about the identity, or for an appraisal, of a rod. Please use the outline as explained on the board. If there is a makers name, list that in the subject line. Make sure you include the length, number of sections, any identifying markings and the general condition. Adding photographs is always helpful!

Combination rod made in Japan late 50's to early 60's is my guess.

You will have better luck in the interior decorating market as a wall hanger than with bamboo enthusiasts here. I’d list it for $25 at a yard sale.

That would be a beast to cast. Those came from Japan by the thousands years ago.
