That's the beautiful thing about bamboo, it's been outdated for nearly fourty years! If you can come to grips with this fact, you never have to run out to get the new O***S catalog All kidding aside, when it comes to trout fishing I'm more impressed by a rod that can roll cast, mend, curve cast, slack line cast - the sort of qualities we trout fisherman actually use. Although, I'm not against airing out 90' of line with a 3wt. just to see if can be done... It will be interesting to see if boron is the next "wonder" material, it's definitely going to be SOMETHING new, that's how they keep us shopping, and I'm not complaning, getting new stuff can be fun too!
