Information On Bamboo Fly Rod Building Tools
Bamboo fly rods are what started it all. Today you almost never see bamboo fly rods as they have been pretty much phased out by more modern graphite rods. Those who do own them probably got them custom made and paid a pretty penny for them. The only option for an inexpensive bamboo fly rod is the build it yourself. You will need some bamboo and other basic bamboo fly rod building tools and probably a book or guide. I found a great video guide that can really help a beginner get from start to finish. Imagine the amount of money you can save by making your own bamboo fly rod. Some hardcore fly fishermen swear by bamboo and wont even touch graphite rods. They say that the action and feel is like nothing you can get out of a graphite rod.
