When I started fly fishing in the early 1960s, I could not afford a split cane rod, so started with one made of greenheart before moving on to fibreglass and then carbon. Over the last four years I have started to use some vintage split cane rods bought at auction. I find the slower action improves casting accuracy (as you mention) and have not found any problem achieving distance, where necessary. I find that fly presentation is improved, especially with a DT silk line. My oldest rod (a Farlow Hughes) dates from the late 1920s and is a joy to use. I paid £75 for it. My two most costly rods were around £300 each (a Hardy Phantom, 8ft, 5wt, (1971) and a Pezon & Michel Parabolic, 8ft 6in, 5wt (1961)). Owning split cane rods to fish need not be costly, relative to decent, modern carbon fibre.
I've been fishing split cane rods with silk lines for 10 years and really enjoy the experience. I don't feel they are much heavier than the graphite or fiberglass rods. I have a 115 ish year old 9' Leonard that only weights 3.5 oz. All materials have cons and benefits to them. However I never felt so attached to a carbon rod as I do to cane rods. I think they transmit, especially with a silk line, more "feel" when a fish is on. Also if I don't catch any fish I can always take some cool photos of some hand crafted rods .
Undeniable! Thank you for stopping in! Please consider subscribing and share the video if you wouldn’t mind!
I prefer bamboo rods about 7 feet long or less.
For shorter rods, I feel most comfortable with bamboo rods.

Take a look at Joe Bradley and John Riveras bamboo rods.
I cast Charlie’s Ritz parabolic rods for distance. But I prefer fast action graphic.
I have a couple of really old 8.6 ft.
5 wt. Bamboo rods and they are extremely heavy! I'm thinking about getting a new cane rod much lighter like 7 ft.
Love mine!
I fish bamboo almost all the time, and where it really excels is fighting fish! My experience is it dampens their struggles to such an extent that they have virtually nothing to fight against. Start taking note of fish lost on graphite vs bamboo and I think you’ll be surprised. PS I use mostly a 9’ vintage Montague Redwing.👍
Love it!
Yes.🙂
What’s the approximate price of this rig? The cheapest one I see from them is about $600, is that about right?
Looks like it. They run sales semi regularly Ive seen though
You forgot the tippet protection..
I want one of those, I'm trying to get a bank loan because I want a $5,985.00 one!
This is definitely not the whole story on bamboo fly rods. You cannot have a conversation about fishing bamboo rods without mentioning the high degree of accuracy you have in casting. In many ways they perform better than graphite rods in my opinion. Particularly in smaller streams that have a great deal of cover that require a shorter rod. Bamboo rods give a definite advantage fishing dry flies, especially in pocket water and casting into tight places.
Lots to love about bamboo.
High end bamboo is superior in performance in many ways. Headwaters is junk. Don’t waste your money.
Por puro capricho y/o por moda,no hay más motivo real más allá del gusto personal del pescador.
Las cañas de bambú son más pesadas,más lentas y suelen estar torcidas,nada que imposibilite su uso para pescar pero el carbono e incluso la fibra de vidrio tienen claras ventajas.
Sobre todo el precio prohibitivo de una caña de bambú refundido. No hay color.
Because you have 2 grand too much and desperately wanna spend it on an inferior rod perhaps?
Just joking...
