    Default American Angler bamboo article

    Anyone out there with a bamboo dreams might like to check out the Nov.-Dec. issue of American Angler which just hit the stands. It's the first time cane rods have received such prominent coverage in a major mag. like this in a long long time. It's sort of an overview / primer for the world of bamboo and is the feature article for this issue. I for one am glad to see it.

    My copy was there when I dragged in last night and I read the whole article, fighting sleep, before I gave in.

    That's going to do the intended; generate some sales.

    It was the first article I read when my mag arrived. Zach Matthews did a nice job. It was nice that he menitoned and featured some familiar builders.

    Great to see some good space devoted to cane, and the first feature article, too! Congratulations and thanks to Zach!

    Thanks FG. I hope I DO get a call from you one day, ask for the "guide discount". I love it when people buy my rods and then FISH them!

    I'd like to have Zach do a follow up to his excellent piece. I would be interested in seeing a Part 2 discuss the various tapers - and what they mean to a prospective flyfishing 'boo buyer.

    Ok,... a Payne xyz taper. What exactly is that?, or a Granger abc taper. I'm sure that I'm not alone in my bewilderment on this point.

    I have looked around a little, but have not found the answers yet.
