If you go on the big auction site you will find a great many bamboo fly rods listed. Some will be junk and others will be O.K. If you concentrate on Montague, Horrocks-Ibbotson, or South Bend you should be able to pick up a 9 foot rod for not too much money that you can rework into a 6 foot banty rod. Just make sure that the mid section and the tips are full length.
