This is the second bamboo rod I acquired from the USA.
I was very impressed with the McDowell.
The guys told me that Chris McDowell learned to make bamboo rods from AJ Thramer, and that AJ's rods are even better than Chris. So I asked Ron to get me this AJ Thramer hollow built and I was not disappointed with it.
