What’s behind your bamboo fly rod?
Ever wonder what goes on in the making of your bamboo fly rod? Alchemy? Chemistry? Physics? How about precision in process?
Yeah, that’s got a nice ring to it. A built-for-the-purpose shop. Precision machines to make the machines that make the bamboo fly rods. A Hardinge Super Precision Lathe. A new Bridgeport Vertical Mill by Hardinge. Set Tru lathe chucks for ferruling bamboo fly rods.
Fishing, especially with bamboo fly rods, is serious business – especially when you consider how little fishing time most of us enjoy. That’s why I fish my own high performance, hollowbuilt bamboo fly rods – I love bamboo, but also want a rod high-performing enough to handle almost any conditions.
