Thanks!
Trout should be caught with a bamboo rod.
Fly fishers like to flop the rod around for the same reason people slap bags of rice when they pass them in supermarkets. Cuz we have to 🥸
Just one more thing. In Thomas Edison’s winter home in Fort Myers Florida (where I practiced for 33 years.) On the wall there is a 10’ bamboo rod with the 150 lb tarpon he caught it on. I own 12 carbon fiber rods from 2 wt to 11wt. But to fish a Bamboo rod is just special.
Have you guys ever tried a tenkara rod? I really enjoy my 8' rod on small creeks in Colorado. I also have a cane rod that I've never used passed down to me from my great aunt. I guess I need to give it a go.
She's a good fly-fisher Lady
There are very affordable split cane rods from China. The maker is ZhusRods. I have 5 of his rods for stream trout fishing in fly line weights 3, 4, and 5. They vary from 6'0" to 7'5". I prefer the 2/2 rods. They are priced under $300 and some are right at $200. You'd be hard pressed to find new bamboo rods of this quality and price. Ron U.
Glad you enjoyed the bamboo IB. I use one for special occasions, with an Abel reel too - we really ought to use a Hardy Perfect, but the Abel is a great reel. You caught a couple of great fish - made it look easier than it is!
With a cane rod your more at one with nature.
The Able reel is probably too light to balance that rod properly. It would feel even better with a heavier reel.
Some of the older split cane rods were tip heavy and not so pleasant to cast and fish. Made in heavier line weights and in 3-piece configuration, the vintage bamboo rods are not, in my view, much fun. Split cane fly rods designed for stream trout, by comparison, are a delight for cast and fish. You can fish all day with a custom-made 4 weight bamboo fly rod in a 2/2 configuration in lengths from 7'0" to 8'0" and have a blast. Ron U.
I first want to say I am so glade I found your Channel. I just can’t get enough of your past videos.
Over the years I have gone from Sage carbon rods to nowadays the modern Fiberglas blanks by well known Kabuto and Steffen Bros., but wanted to experience bamboo so I had a Garrison 204E 7 foot reproduction made for me. This is a joy to cast as long as the proper size and weighted reel is on it. The modern skeleton style lightweights although beautiful to look at will not balance my rod like a proper Hardy Perfect or older Uniqua reels. Great fun and a pleasure to cast when balanced.👍🇨🇦👨🦳
If rod weight is a concern. Perhaps a hollow built bamboo fly rod should be tried. A split cane rod builder cane tailor the casting action to your liking.
Great video. During lockdown 1 & 2 I built 2 glass and two cane rods, perfect antidote to working from home and getting away from a laptop. It was my first time and patience and perseverance paid off, I couldn't be happier with the results. Most pleased with my cane 7'6" 4#, if I do say so myself a thing of beauty. Like IB I have a fast casting style and had to adjust but it didn't take long and it is a joy to cast. First trip out I had a handful of Yorkshire Dales trout and grayling to just under 1 3/4 lb and the sensation of playing a nice fish on cane is as they say, makes you feel more in touch with the fish. Keep them coming, maybe you could do a fish off new v old cane?
Lovely video. I have a 1960's Hardy Phantom Palakona 9ft #6 3-piece cane rod I was gifted on the proviso I never sell it! It only comes out for special occasions, fishing a chalk stream etc. I think using a hand built rod, made by a real craftsmen is a privilege. It's somehow a more special experience compared to using a mass produced, production-line rod, no matter how good the rod is. You really have to 'use' a cane rod, it doesn't 'cast itself', which makes catching fish on one even more rewarding. I also think using a cane rod transports you back to more simple, slower times when the world wasn't in such a hurry! And that's certainly something I appreciate now and then!
Beautiful vid Andy. Cane is a great material for legering rods as well.
It's great seeing you on the water together again, such a lovely video that had me smiling ear to ear 👏👏
Loved this video and understand why people like split cane-they have a really beauty about them. When I played golf many years ago I had a putter with a hickory shaft and wooden head. It was a real bugger to play with though and cost me many a stroke but it was a thing of beauty to look at and hold.
Another very enjoyable video, natural informative and realistic, great tribute to your Dad Andy with IB providing great entertainment.
