Bamboo rods experienced their hay day during early America from the mid eighteen hundreds to the mid nineteen hundreds. They were mass produced by an army of hand craftsmen and were just as common as the graphite rod is today. But the invention of graphite and the application of it to the fly rod industry ended that. Graphite was easier to work with, required less skill to make, and was cheaper to produce. They soon replaced the bamboo rods in store shelves, but it may not be so bad. The bamboo rods that survived have become immensely better then their predecessors and are light years beyond any modern graphite rod on the market. They truly are fly fishing
