Japanese bamboo

[herefishy]

Every japanese fisherman I've seen has been very proficient and wonderful to watch, so there must be a community of expert anglers there - why is there no japanese maker of bamboo? Or are they just so high-end that they never make it to the open market i.e. e-bay?

There are many more, just don't have their sites booked marked. Most are in Japanese.
