bamboo
Cool Dennis, i know a lot of guys who are totall "Quad" nuts. I've cast one Quad Bamboo rod, made by Ron Kusse and it is a dream. Course it cost about 3K, and Ron is "The" premire bamboo rod builder in the world. So, i expected it would be VERY nice. But it was even better than that. Takes about 2 to 3 years to get your rod when you order from him, so one does need to be patiant. He builds them all himself, including the hardware. He was vice president at Leonard for many years, and has been doing it for a half century. You can go to his site from the FAOL site. He's a sponser there and a host in their chat room, (the HUT). I just left there a minute ago, and everyone is fine, LOL. I have one Kusse rod, a graphite, 9 ft. 9 wt. tournament casting rod. It's "The Bomb" and you can throw a mile with it. I'm thinking of doing some salt water fishing with it someday. Well, good luck with the Bambo forum. mark
