John Loebach Posted April 26, 2016 Report Share Posted April 26, 2016 Jeff Fox & I will run a bamboo rod builders gathering this Sunday at Glenwood Forest Preserve from 10 to 4. Bring your bamboo rods to cast & compare, evaluate line weight & try some others too. Jeff will bring chili - feel free to help add to lunch with a dish to share.John L.

John Loebach Posted May 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Fourteen participants, twenty or more rods, many built by the owner. If you like slow rods that perform you want to try bamboo. I tried three that pretty much cast themselves. Now I need to learn to build one of these. We'll do this again next spring - great group of enthusiasts.

Ed Buric Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 I'm sorry that I missed this, I would've liked to have cast a few of those rods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Miller Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I have a bamboo rod that should be finished around my anniversary in June. The builder is Walter Babb of Sweetwater, TN. I can not wait to get this rod! I spent about 3 hours at Walter's house in December casting various rods. -Forrest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
