I would tend to agree with Colston.
The Tonkin cane used by quality rod builders today is of the highest grade.
In some cases probably better than some older stock. The care used by the two major importers in selecting their stocks is of the highest order.
You might want to look at Demarest's website.

Andy Royer is the other prime supplier of Tonkin cane.

When you can arrange your affairs to go fishing, forget all the signs, homilies, advice and folklore. JUST GO.
