Walter Babb Bamboo Fly Rods For Sale Directly From Walter

Over the past 20-years, I’ve made over 285 bamboo fly rods. Most were custom rods for customers, some were gifts, some were rods for various charity auctions. Many were prototypes. I would see a taper that interested me, and I would make a rod. This is what I would fish with. Also, they were the rods customers would test cast to help them decide which rod they wanted. All these rods are good casters and the one’s I’ve fished with are very good. If anyone would like to test cast any of these rods, or has questions about them, call me at 423-337-6772 and I will be glad to help.

I made all rods on this list.
