Bamboo Fly Cast

FLY-BOO? Headwaters rods are priced so every fly fisherman can experience the pleasures of fishing well-crafted bamboo.

The Value

Bamboos weight works to a fly fishers advantage: the bamboos mass propels the line to give the feel of a rod casting itself. At the center of the bamboo is a soft, pithy substance that dampens vibration, slowing down and delaying the transmission of useless motion. The hard exterior enamel strengthens the bamboo. These elements combine to give the bamboo rod a smooth, more natural action, with incredible strength and durability.

The Science

Fly fishing author Arnold Gingrich said, On the day that Jascha Heifitz plays a plastic violin in the New York Philharmonic I would consider using a rod made of synthetic materials. World-class music is made on exceptional instruments. An exquisite bamboo rod of six strips of Tonkin cane artfully split and tempered, then meticulously finished, is an instrument of incomparable casting quality with an appearance approaching art.
