Wow, James I am impressed you read my post, I read your article on casting bamboo prior to casting it. Being from where I am, far West Texas, am a Lefty Kreh taught video caster so I have many flaws. It did cast well, but of course very differently than my Sage's. Am taking it to Conjoes CO in ten days for trout.
