Chris Sparkman is here today, founder and owner of Sparchimedes Bamboo Fly Rods. He’s gonna take us on a journey to choosing your first or maybe your next bamboo fly rod. We’re gonna find out why the five-sighted Penta style bamboo rod might be better for you than the Hexa style. We’re gonna get some information on the differences there, and we’re gonna talk about the perfect length of a bamboo fly rod. We’re gonna walk through what it might look like for you and your area, and why you might go with a nine-foot or maybe even a six-foot bamboo rod. We’re also gonna get into some great resources if you wanna take this conversation further and some other people you might want to connect with to put together your next bamboo rod. Plus, we’re gonna find out whether a bamboo fly rod has what it takes to battle a giant Alaskan salmon. Chris is also gonna talk about some trips he’s excited about this year.
