Whether Graphite is better than Bamboo or Bamboo is better than Graphite is a whole other subject. Its also very very open to each individuals likes and dislikes.

The 100 graphite guys are into FISHING! Focused on it but not the most knowing of the whole scene of fishing and the outdoors. Lower percentages of all around (tying, conservation, casting dynamics) general knowledge... Concerned more about names than performance.
Again, with respect, thats a sweeping generalisation. Thats your experience/opinion and I respect that but it cannot be expanded across the whole fishing scene. At least not from a UK standpoint, maybe it's a cultural difference between the US and the UK???
My 2p.
Step on a graphite rod and see what happens?
*snickering*
How many 50 year old graphite rods have you heard of taking a bend on a fish of a lifetime?
Wood and bamboo started it all and are very available for anyone to pick up and make.
I prefer someone's personal hand drawn art over computer generated art, no what I mean?
My rod comparison = new
My opinion = mine
Respectfully taken.
:D
Take care.
