I bought a Chinese bamboo for less than $300 and it’s the best investment I have done in fly fishing 😂 Chinese are masters in bamboo crafts.

Been trying to wrap a blank I bought. But. It’s not as easy as it looks. I was wondering is there a best size of thread that works better. Oh and. I’m here in Blue Ridge. And. I’m Daniel Japaniel Uncle. lol. One day I’m gonna be able to take a class. Hopefully and learn how to do it right from you

Yes, thanks, I think a similar assessment can be made with fiberglass rods as well. I have fished with both graphite and fiberglass for years, and find that the adjustments I have to make when picking up a bamboo rod, is fairly minimal. I also have a bias towards moderate action with the graphite rods I do own, so perhaps that’s partially why. The other consideration is rod length, because I always thought the sweet spot with bamboo are the 7 ft and 7:1/2 ft. lengths, these now being most popular which does require some adjustment from casting graphite anyways.
@oysterbamboo 4 ай бұрын
@@barry4fish You’re very welcome and thanks for the great input. I would agree with the similarities when casting between fiberglass and bamboo. The rod I used in the video was 8’8” in length, but a one piece hollow built rod and extremely light by bamboo standards. In the typical solid build version, I also enjoy the shorter rods and prefer to keep the length at 8’ or less even on our large saltwater rods. Regards!

I am from South Africa. It is one of my dreams having a bamboo rod and classic looking rod. Just kind of prefer the old classic type of fly fishing. But just too expensive in our currency :(

Sorry to hear that. If you’re ever in the U.S. maybe you can come to our class and make your own. There’s also lots of old classic rods that aren’t too expensive and might be a good way to get started.

Bought a bamboo rod on E bay during Covid..It was made in Japan after the war.The rod design was a Dickerson.I bought it because it was bamboo and very affordable my plan was to refurbish it.The story behind the rob was the gentlemen who sold it to me said it was his Grandfather's rod that he got while station in Japan after the war. Mahalo for the lesson love your passion. Aloha

Wow... Simply inspiring. An amazing married couple who've transformed 'daydreams' into realities and mere 'visions' into an actual living breathing community. [Back in the mid to late '90s when i lived in California in my '20s, I was dreaming of learning how to build Bamboo flyrods; I even bought the Hoggie Carmichael book (an $85+ book at the time!) on how to build the rods- but then my life changed dramatically & involved a move to NYC, taking a vow-of-poverty, to work full-time at a Religious Order; then 8.5 years later transferred to the Caribbean to do missionary work, only to eventually end up back in Brooklyn, NYC to become a registered nurse, where I continue today. . . . But I STILL HAVE THE DREAM of making my very own split Bamboo flyrods, & being on the river/stream. So after seeing this Oyster couple & hearing their amazing story- I am inspired again to start dreaming-- yet this time, now knowing of their Oyster school/courses-- my long-time vision may actually have a chance to become the reality I've always hoped. I WILL be a future student in your school, Oyster, I MUST! Thank you, for your wonderful story. Your future student, Michael 🙏🏽
