Bamboo fly rods are ideal for the most subtle and delicate of presentations, and for anglers who enjoy the rod’s slow and very flexible action. Much like fiberglass fly rods, bamboo fly rods deliver a unique feel and experience when battling a fish. The give of the fly rod helps to protect light tippets from breaking.

A split cane fly rod or bamboo fly fishing rod is formed by splitting, planing and straightening a series of bamboo or cane strips before gluing them together to form a fly rod blank. This fly rod blank may be composed of any number of tapered strips, most commonly a six-strip or hexagonal design.

There is just something about the feel of bamboo, both when casting and playing fish, that makes the rod feel more alive. Because they take a long time to make and so much hand labor goes into them they are expensive.

Yes, antique bamboo rods are unique and sought-after collection pieces. But you won’t become a millionaire if you have or find one! The most expensive bamboo rod sold in an auction was about 20’000$ worth. But more generally if you get 3000$ this is a very good price.
