Loved that show. As a child of 10 or 12 I used a 10' bamboo fly rod. Ive now collected 20 bamboo boat rods for their beauty.

I loved this! Building a bamboo rod had always seemed like rocket science. Thanks for making it understandable.

I really enjoy Eric’s ability to become a student, without any wise-ass “I know how to do this part,” comments. He fulfills the eager student role, in substitution for us viewers, who actually don’t know what we’re doing. Well done video production. Totally informative and enjoyable. Thanks.

Nothing feels like a split cane rod I still have my wife’s Grand Father’s rod I like using it in areas where I won’t find any monsters so I don’t over stress it. I prefer it over all of my other rods of modern materials. I also have a shorter trolling rod for Salmon fishing here in Oregon.
