Murf,
It is just a fishing pole, ifin it ain't used fer fishing youns might
not as well have it.
Bamboo rods made in this day and age are quite a bit different than the
old days. The bamboo strips are heat tempered and some bamboo rods cast
as well as some glass and graphite rods. I can cast a good 60' without
double hauling with the first bamboo rod I made. It is a 7' 4 wt. I am
not a bamboo purest and would not go back to the slow heavy bamboo rods
I started flyfishing with. I still fish graphite and glass but the
bamboo is just different and I don't baby it. I have caught a couple 1+
pound bass on my three wt, 6' bamboo rod while fishing for gills. No ill
effects on the rod at all.
LOL

Ah, younger Jerry, you assume I have no custom rods? I have been to
the Dark Side for many years with 4 custom builts but not by our good
friend Tony Spezio yet. Were I not afraid of raising "cane", I might
even consider such.
What say yee members? Should I consider bamboo? Why? Love of the
art form? Better casting? More forgiving? I must meditate deeply as
I fear cane would never leave the wall rack for fear of injury.
This is a most serious decision and must be perfect.
