Any one interested in Bamboo fly rods?
 
Hi,

I have the center section and two tips of a bamboo fly rod. They are
exceptionally straight and are in a I believe Mahogany case.
Any interest?

A typical graphite rod is incomparably better than two pieces of a
three-piece bamboo rod, even if it doesn't come in an authentic mahogany
case.

Well, there's points and then there's points. Graphite is an unusually dark
material........ainna?
