Bamboo Rods/Reels

You certainly have expensive taste Doublegun,I don`t think you will get any bites(no pun intented)on this site,the Leonards,and the Vom Hopf reels and all of the other great makers are just so out of reach for many users or collectors,the new so called sportsman have driven the cost of sporting collectables through the roof!40 years ago split bamboo rods were expensive..Two years ago I passed up great original Frost litho for 350.00,I could kick myself in the butt...Good luck,I do alot of searching around for old rods,reels,double guns,anything related to upland hunting,fly fishing,etc,will keep a keen eye open...BB

Pricey pricey pricey. Best of luck.

As much as I would love to find rods by Leonard, Dickerson or Young, there were a number of lesser known makers making wonderful beautiful rods with great tapers. You just never know what you will find until you start looking.
