Pete,I just got home about an hour ago, from driving back from N.J. ,am too tired to write much now. I have made 79 Bamboo rods, Made four sets of metal forms. I was at a three day Bamboo rod Gathering this past weekend at the Catskill Fly Fishing Center in Livingston Manor N.Y. I have written a number of articles on the subject for Powerfibers including a two part article on making metal forms.Will get back to you tomorrow.Tony

Two questions are: How does one create a tapered planing form, and second, does anyone have a taper formula (for creating the form) that I may use? Please send replies off-list, for these two questions, as I'm thinking this is too far off of the topic...On a more "to the point" note, those who have fished bamboo and other materials, what are your opinions of bamboo versus the modern graphites and such? Pro's and cons to each would be appreciated, along with what weight line / rod you use (and for what fishes).
I hope that isn't TOO much of a list or THAT far off topic; apologies if this is off-topic.Thanks and tight wraps,__________________________________________________
