Casting Bamboo Fly Rods vs Graphite Fly Rods

Casting Bamboo Fly Rods vs Graphite Fly Rods



“The bamboo rod will teach you, if you’re listening, everything you need to know.”

Bill Oyster discusses the differences between casting graphite and transitioning to casting a bamboo fly rod.

“Each year, Oyster introduces hundreds of people to the joys of casting a bamboo fly rod. Even though it may feel awkward at first - especially if you’re used to your graphite rod and you’ve been fishing those types of rods for years- you get a lot of feedback. The bamboo rod will teach you, if you’re listening, everything you need to know. Make sure you’re casting the rod; don’t try to cast your cast because it’s not a one-size fits all.”

FULL DISCLOSURE: We are professional bamboo fly rod makers. Our content videos are amateur. 😂
