Preparation: For ease of transportation, each long bamboo pole is cut into two culms of 150 cm and 170 cm each.
Using a single bamboo pole for a fly rod ensures better quality and uniformity compared to randomly assembled bamboo strips.
The natural color of the bamboo changes from green to yellow over time, making it ready for splitting into strips.
Some poles may have minor cracks due to drying and weather changes, but this does not affect their suitability for making split strips.
Further Processing:
Once split, the bamboo strips should be stored for additional months to stabilize the fibers. Repeated hand straightening (3-5 times) is recommended to ensure the final rod is straight, fast-acting, and of high quality.
By selecting these premium Tonkin bamboo poles, you can significantly reduce costs and potentially increase profits by 500-1000% when crafting high-end fly rods.
