New Bamboo for Poor People
…poor people with poor impulse control.
I want a new rod rather than searching eBay for something that might be in good shape. I know there are good deals to be had on the used marketplace, but not this time.
I’ve fished with bamboo before and I know the care required. I like slow action and old fashioned. Fancy doesn’t do it for me. Utilitarian all the way. Simple. Quality.
I’m a moderately good angler and capable at casting. The rod will be used and maybe used up. Not looking for the family heirloom.
3 or 4wt (still thinking on this). Not brand conscious and have a history of taking chances on lesser knowns (sometimes it works, other times less so). Hundreds not thousands (is this possible anymore?).
It’ll be another rod in the rack. Plan to fish it where appropriate. No interest in impressing others. Already have the reel to match it.
What say you? Thought I’d ask you’uns.
