The South Bend 9'0" Bamboo Fly Rod is a timeless classic typically crafted from high-quality Tonkin or split cane, combining vintage elegance with reliable performance. At nine feet in length, it provides a fluid, medium-action flex that excels at long casts and delicate presentations—perfect for drying flies on large streams or casting to wary trout. The rod features tasteful thread wraps and a Comficient Grip coupled with a polished reel seat, offering both durability and aesthetic appeal. Lightweight and balanced, this bamboo rod delivers a refined fly-fishing experience that honors tradition while performing beautifully on the water. We believe this particular rod was produced sometime between 1948-1950. This is a three-piece rod that comes complete with its second tip.
