Before you jump into this disease with both feet let me suggest caution. A Jensen made rod, while a great rod at a moderate price, might be a bit of a risk for starters. For example I broke three bamboo rods last year, a 7 1/2' Heddon, a 7' Phillipson, and a 8' H-I for a total loss of about $1500.00. Since these were the only rods I've broken in over 60 years of fly fishing, I cannot say last year's disasters were typical, but they were nonetheless... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (aquabonito) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/116270 Thu, 08 Jan 2009 10:22:38 GMT http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/116238/t/New-to-fly-fishing-and-new-to-bamboo.html#reply-116238 canerodscom wrote:

I'm a close neighbor in Garland. You've come to the right spot to further the obsession, just as I did not many years ago. I've now got a few bamboo rods, including a great one from the above Harry Boyd. These are compassionate folks, and will quickly dispell any feeling of being on the outside, at least in here. Drop me a pm sometime and we'll go fish some bamboo.

You've found fertile waters here. Many of us are willing to help you nurture this bamboo disease.

Where in Texas? Lots of bamboo guys spread across the state. Heck, just for tonight I'm in Amarillo. But will be in Denver by tomorrow.

Changed my life. Seriously. The chapter about bamboo especially peaked my intrest, so I googled and shot an email to one of the rod makers he referenced.
