I am in the planning stages of crafting a bamboo flyrod for myself and son.

I want to use good materials and blank as this will be a rod to pass down to my son.

On fire here got the go from the wife
just a minute ago... Have had the desire
for many years.


I am not ready to hand plane one just yet, so I need to know of a good source for the blank as well as everything I will need to get it done, Tools, jigs,hardware, ect...

Like it to be a 5wg. Can I get some input on a good blank to start with and any other assistance would be welcome and appreciated.

I am open on a price range right now.

Yes I am doing research , just thought I would also put a line out here to see what I may catch.

I am off to look at various books on the subject. I have John Gierach book Bamboo
a very good read.


Thanks!
