The Bamboo 1856 not only offers incredible performance, it also puts excellence and luxury in the fingertips of the angler. The bamboo construction with a progressive taper allows for you to play with your preferred loading, from creating a faster feel with minimal line out to extending the line for a slower cast. The reel seat continues the feeling of exquisite taste with a combination of nickel silver and a Vermont maple burl insert that add to the look and help balance the rod.
