Has anyone on the board made one? How hard would it be? I have a fairly thick stand of Bamboo in my back yard and was just trying to think of a good use for it. How durable could it be?
Any pictures or thoughts would be appreciated.

I have when I was a kid. We cut the cane and hung it by the little end in the barn until it dried straight, then we wrapped an eye on the tip and a few guides along the shaft. We didn't use reels just a handful of line with one end tied off to the butt. We just used them for bass, catfish and panfish. They were pretty sturdy and held up well for a couple of stumbling kids.

I know that Bamboo is extremely resilient. I was wondering if it could be used for a Salmon rod, or maybe even for something heavier? I saw kits on eBay with several different sized eyes. I think I am going to do this.

I have been considering this for some time. I haven't given it a try yet but plan to soon. I will have to make some photo's to upload for sure. If you do take this on please make photo's and notes and post.
