If you like fly fishing at all, you need to try a handcrafted bamboo rod. You need to slow down your cast a bit, but once you get the timing, you will never want to cast a plastic rod again. Not only are they beautiful rods (natural materials), they are more sensitive and flex better in response to fish (fewer break-offs).
I'm trying to resist the urge to pontificate about bamboo. Just try one. You will enjoy casting "the lovely reed."
