Bamboo rod

Postby fflutterffly » March 11th, 2011, 5:56 pm

I realize this should be in the Rod section but would like to hit the general population on this one:
Does anyone know of someone who is an expert on the history of Bamboo Rods. I was over at a friends home and they have an Orivs Joe Brooks Blank rod, a Heddon Throughbred and a Heddon Black Beauty.

Darrell Kunitomi, who sometimes works at the Fishermans Spot is an expert on bamboo. I'm sure that the guys at the shop can put you in contact with him.

I know mr. D at the spot. Good idea. I will also check the forum. I have a few PM's as well.
Thanks all for the response. You're all great! I'm a lucky gal to have so many people to turn to in fly fishing.
