Bamboo Rod Information
Since I started building fishing rods it has been my goal to build a bamboo rod from scratch. You know, splitting the 2 inch clum of cured bamboo into small strips and planning them into precise triangles that fit together in a hexagon shape that is tapered just right to make an outstanding fishing rod. In fact, I have studied how to do it and have attended several classes on the finer points of bamboo rod building. I have even collected some of the tools required to do the job. I admit however that I have never actually planed a strip of bamboo YET. Therein lies the base of the name of my company. It is my destiny to one day begin working bamboo strips into a classic bamboo rod. Until that time, I buy bamboo blanks from other builders and finish them off with the care and craftsmanship that I put into all of my rods.
All bamboo rods made by me are constructed from Tonkin cane. Tonkin is the best bamboo available for fishing rods. The precision shaped pieces of bamboo are glued together using the strongest adhesive available today. The guides are positioned on the rod using our standard procedures as outlined in the fly rod information sheet. The guides are attached to the rod using the finest silk thread. The rods are finished with 2 to 3 coats of UV protected marine varnish. And the thread wraps are finished with the best quality 2 part epoxy available.
Classic Destiny combines all of the latest and greatest techniques to create a fine-tuned fishing instrument to meet your angling needs. Check out the following pictures for examples of some of my bamboo work.
