If you're thinking of planting your own crop of Bamboo to make your rods from scratch consider this:
Nandina domestica or Bamboo is considered an invasive and noxious plant in both Texas and Florida. You can be forced to pay for the property damage caused by bamboo growing on your property to a neighbors' property.
Many years ago I had a Fly Rod/ Spinning rod combo in a wooden box and the lable indicated it was "Tonken Cane", which I now know came from the Tonken Gulf area or Viet Nam (back then it was called French Indo China).

Look for the diamondback cane to come out with two tips selling for 695.00,a good buy verses others 1500-2500 rods
Hmmm... are you sure that it wasn't Tonkin cane, from the 60,000 acre mountainous section of China? That cane, also called "tea stick" replaced Calcutta as the bamboo of choice for most cane rods in the late 1800s, although you may well be right... there are many, many species of bamboo.

Bamboo in bikes is a very old concept.
One of the cycling mags did an article on a new "wonder material" without saying what the material was until the end of the article.
They talked about good lateral flexibility, torsional rigidity (resistance to twisting) off the charts, able to be machined easily, rust proof, many methods for fastening (screws, glue, etc.) light weight, etc.
In the last paragraph the revelealed it was bamboo, and that they had taken the article (they updated the language a bit) from an engineering magazine from the 1890's.

the diamondback bamboo rods are made in china. diamondback just puts their name on them. that's why they cost so little compared to other bamboo rods.
you can also find really nice american made bamboo fly rods for less than $700 if you know where to look.
