wooden rods
HI all
I am new here.
I am a bamboo fisher now, but the idea of a wooden rod is in my mind.
Before bamboo was around in europe or the us, wood was used to make all kinds of rods.
But, how is it today? Anyone makes them more? Anyone here who use them?
I hope to learn more about these.
Thanks for looking

Re: wooden rods
I used a "Green-heart Rod" back in the 1960s, it had slight bend or curve on the top end; but worked perfectly well, just a little heavy!

Hello
Thanks for the reply.
Do you still have it? What kind of a rod was it?
You know if someone is still making these wooden rods. It is interesting, bamboo is all back, but I think that a wooden rod is not that bad. Maybe a bit heavy, but, still a good rod.

Thanks Mike.
Below is a letter I wrote to Mr. Betts, he is an interesting person.
He wrote a book detailing exactly how he makes his wood fly rods.
They are really nice.
Ernest here makes them as well.
