Thank you Quinn. I love working the bamboo almost as much as fishing it. I too like to combine the old and new. Modern technology dicatates that there are other methods and means to finish a wrap, but I like traditional methods just because...and thats about it. I have often wondered about Hiram Leonard, or Lyle Dickerson and what they would have used if they had the finishes of today. In their day, they were the cutting edge of technology in rod building.

I do use the Sylk lines. I like them and have had good success with them. I have a 4 and a 5 and use them both about the same amount of time. I don't fish them exclusively, as there are other lines I enjoy fishing as well, but usually, if I am fishing bamboo, I am fishing Sylk.
