To celebrate their 150th anniversary, Orvis was offering a limited edition of a Anniversary Bamboo Fly Rod for only $4150. Darn I missed out on this special offer.
How about you FGD did you get one? For that matter did anyone else? Sure is a handsome looking rod.
I would have sold my first born male child, if I had one, for that rod. I do have an Orvis boo however and that made it even harder to pass on that deal. They were sold out in a heartbeat however.
Kinda like the Wheatley thing[;)] The big question, if you bought it, would you use it?
I have a hand made all wood putter made in Scotland. And no I have never taken it out on the course. Too pretty to get dinged. Although I would probably take that $4150 swatter out on the water for no one in my family would ever use it. It would be a waste just to leave it in it’s case unused. However, I do have my Dad’s bamboo hanging on the wall in my FR.
$4150 
Wow, um…speechless! I would be glad I missed the “deal” too.
Well I’m not too big on the bamboo thing but if I did buy I would use it

We’ll get out sometime Maddawg and I will let you give the boo a swing or two and then we will see how you feel, hahahaha[;)]
I need to get out. If i don’t go flying this weekend I’ll be on the river somewhere. Just don’t know where whats fishing the best right now?

I’m off this weekend, so we will be on the Middle.
Once you use a bamboo rod you’ll never forget it. I didn’t know what I had when I was a young’en.
