Boo line ?
#21
Good point. You do need to do some home work before buying a Bamboo. There are many tapers. Even Payne has several tapers. I like Edwards too. You really need to pick up the rod.
I cast probably 15 before I picked the taper I like.
And buyer beware. "BANTY" This is a small Bamboo rod but BUILT small from tip to butt. The flex is the WHOLE rod.
But, there are many that buy the cheaper 9' 3 piece older rods and take just the top two sections. Add a reel seat and cork and "call" it a banty. It is not. it cast terrible.
It is part of the original taper.

NOW, if you find you absolutely LOVE bamboo, check out Oyster. I have been invited to one of his rod building class....awwww someday

Check this out and before you panic at the end of the video when he drops the rod, this is Bill Oyster and he built it[Smile][Smile]
