MY FLY ROD

How to build a bamboo fly rod, a practical guide

HOW TO BUILD A BAMBOO
FLYROD YOURSELF

Bamboo fly rod making

"My Flyrod "is your Flyrod"

This book and its tutorial videos are the translation of "My fly rod",
the work of a French manufacturer.

Essentially a technical tool, it is aimed at beginners as well as
experienced builders, at anyone who prefer a practical guide to a
demonstration or a show.

There is also a reflection on the present and the future of canes
split(split bamboo canes).

All text and photos on this web site are short excerpts from the book.

At first there was the split bamboo, then the glass fibre and then
arrived the carbon, which superseded everything. It brought together
lightweight, ease of operation and low cost. One can say that without
the carbon rod, fly-fishing would not have become so democratised. This
is a supremacy that cannot be questioned, as there is nothing to oppose
it.

Nothing; really?

Well, not exactly, otherwise this book would not make sense. Anyway
before speaking about this, let me tell you an anecdote that clearly
demonstrates that, when comes to rods, we live amongst prejudices. It
is authentic and occurred evidently on the riverbank.

- " So you are fishing with a split bamboo rod? I had one a long time
ago, a Pezon & Michel. It was a beautiful rod but is now completely
superseded!"
- "Tell me my dear sir what is the make of your car?"
- "Uh, a Citroën; why?"
- "Because I had one, a long time ago, an "11". It was beautiful but is
now completely superseded!"
"But... my car is not 50 years old!"
"Neither is my rod..."

This is the kind of stupid dialog that the owner of a bamboo rod could
be faced with, as if the types designed fifty or sixty years ago were
still up to date in the split rod community.

As a matter of fact the great mass of bamboo rods you can see and test
are of antique design and what sticks in the mind, is that all the
bamboo rods are obsolete.

Actually this is not the case, but the improvements remained unobserved
as the few who turned to becoming professional manufacturers were
unfortunately unsuccessful, or were forced by the market to build rods
having the action the uninitiated were accustomed to, or to go on
reproducing the "carbon" action, that is to say making very soft action
rods.
(...)

The first to make a scientific approach of the fly rod action was E.E.
Garrison who, during the thirties, developed a mathematical calculation
method for the tapers taking into account the bamboo density and the
"bending moments" that the laws of physics allow one to compute.

During the sixties, Daniel Brémond, who then lived in Champagnole
designed a simple calculation method based on two criteria; an even
stress on the outer fibres so that the rod will not age and a
progressive acceleration of the impulse from the hand grasp towards the
tip.

Wishing to overcome the criticism about the weight of the bamboo rods,
he lightened everything possible and brought in two major innovations:
the alveolate structure (the rod is not hollow on the whole length but
is alveolated so that it does not ovalize), and the spliced assembly
with the reinforcement in the rod axis.

Once assembled these rods seem to form one piece with a very fast
action and a considerable power reserve. As I was fishing for seventeen
years with the same rod, until a car drove over it, I can say that a
well calculated taper makes the rod that does not age.
(...)

Going back to the bamboo rod building process, it is sufficient to say
that it is far less difficult than one would imagine. This would be
confirmed by many of those who have made rods with the help of
builders, in the CFR or after the sixteen training courses I held.

You need good bamboo (perhaps the most difficult to obtain), some
simple tools such as file or plane and a finishing planing form. The
rest is not essential. The best way is to know a builder who will guide
you during the initial stages.

(...)

An advice to the beginners: Do not wait until you have built all the
tools and every machine to begin your bamboo fly rod construction.

It is not more important to imagine machine tools that will waste your
time.

In short: go ahead!

Acquire the essential; the bamboo and began to split it and then
straighten the strips.

You will note that it takes up a lot of time.

After that you will need a rough planing form to make the strips
triangularly shaped.

Once this is carried out almost two third of the time required to
achieve a rod will be spent.

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
