I really admire the work Marcelo does. The bamboo ferrule looks tricky. I haven't attempted that yet. I'll post a couple of pics of my rods. Want to go down to the river and take a couple of picture with the Rogue river in the background.…

Yes Mark, I do know Marcelo, we are friends and happen to live quite close to each other. I owe him much of my rodmaking knowledge, his work is true art.

Do you know Mario Calviello. He does bamboo ferrules like the rod in your picture. The cane work is similar. Beautiful work.

Rick Newman said… - Welcome amigo. I am glad you joined our group. Your experiences will add a diversity to our discussions. where do you reside in Argentina? I travel through Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho in my work calling on farm stores. I am able to organize my travels to maximize my fishing experiences, often bringing my pontoon boat along to fish in a variety of lakes. We commonly fish for Rainbows, Browns, Steelhead and salmon. I travel to the Washington coast to fish for Steelhead, Coho, Pink, and Chum salmon with flies. Hope to hear from you soon.
