"In other words, with a glass rod, which is round, the tool accentuates
casting errors by heading the motion in the direction of the error. ...
With bamboo, on the other hand, the construction of sides tends to keep
the motion going more in a straight back-and-forth pattern." "In the
second place, bamboo is solid and fiberglass is hollow. This gives a
cane rod more sensitivity and feel. If your rod is transmitting casts,
fish or whatever through its whole diameter, it is going to tell more of
the "story" than if the impulses are being carried only through the shell."
