Mmmmm Bamboo! I've looked at a few Bamboo fly rods. However, I cannot get past the price, especially when my wife thinks I'm nuts for poping 300.00 bucks on a rod.
Best place to start with bamboo is used. None of the four 'users' in the picture were more than $150. And let's be serious for a second... what's more nuts: $300 for a knife or $300 for a split cane rod? There are many more hours of craftsmanship in a split cane rod than in a knife! (Note that I annoy my wife with both.) I'm not a bamboo purist (see graphite rod in the picture with the actual fish), but there is something satisfying about the classic action of cane.
