Since I own two bamboos, I can say this.

As a group the best looking production fly rods ever were the Shakespeare White Wonderods followed closely by their Honey Greens. The textured white surface trimed in green and white and hi-lited with ginger cork gives them a classic look. They are similar to the Royal Coachman pattern which is in turn the best looking fly pattern. Just thinking about them makes me want to click on eBay to see what is listed.



Of course I do my serious fishing with ugly black and grey graphite rods. Note: the pink and rasberry models that Elkhorn has are nice but do not have the universal appeal of the Wonderods.
