Good Morning Gals and Gents,
This peacock was landed on a Bamboo Fly Rod.
Many Fliers don't like using Bamboo rods because it is heavy and a
extremely slow rod.Not to mention Bamboo rods are very expensive.
This is a 9ft,3 pc,5/6wt.rod and the line i used is a 6wt.WFF.

Another nice bass on flies.
Can you shed some light on the advantages on using bamboo fly rods?

Taking into consideration that this Bamboo rod is over 50 yrs old.The
Rod was already refurbished when i got it.Now it looks as good as new.It can be
kept as a collector's item and passed down to generations.It is always
a conversation item when i am fishing with it among other fliers.
That is the difference between bamboo and other fly rods.

Ah, I see it's more of a sentiment for legacy fly rod. I must agree it draws anglers' attention.
