The first bamboo rod I ever fished was also the first bamboo rod I ever made. From that day on, I never trout fished with anything but bamboo. I still enjoy throwing a graphite cannon in the saltwater, but everything I need to do when trout fishing can be done as well, or better with cane. At the very least, FOR ME, bamboo is just prettier, more traditional, more personal, and simply more fun.
