The Saga of Milt and the Bamboo Fly Rod
Rumor has it that Milt is in the market for a new flyrod. From an early morning missive from Milt:
Then Milt got the following link from a buddy of his, who wrote: "If you are shopping you might like these. I've not seen one, but they get good reviews and the price compares with a standard rod."I saw the LLBean is offering a bamboo rod again. Only 30,000 cans. I
beamed that forward to my boss, and he sent this back. I wonder whether
enough care can be made in building this rod and in securing good
Tonkin cane to make spending $400 odd on it a good chance?
