Well I'm a fisherman, and that is first class work.
I had a couple split bamboo fly rods as a kid. One got broke by a big ol' catfish, the other by a largemouth bass. Twas my own fault for using them improperly.... Or maybe they just weren't up to the task that I put them to. Like the wrong weight rod, for the application of larger flies and poppers, for bass, pike, and steelheads. :gaah:
