I do my best at keeping the prices of my bamboo fly rods, nets, and wading staffs down so they are affordable to many anglers.\u00a0 Yes, bamboo fly rods cost more than graphite fly rods of today…but really,…when did the cost of high-end graphite rods increase to $1600???\u00a0 \u00a0Every couple of years, I do an assessment of my costs for building my bamboo fly rods.\u00a0 Unfortunately, costs continue to go up. Over the past 3 years, I’m seeing these increases:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Cost of raw Bamboo has risen by 85%<\/li>\n
  2. Cost of silk thread has risen by 20%<\/li>\n
  3. Cost of ferrules has risen by 35%<\/li>\n
  4. Cost of reel seat hardware has risen by 15%<\/li>\n
  5. Cost of shipping through FedEx or UPS has risen by 20%<\/li>\n
  6. Cost of consumable materials (sand paper, varnish, glue) has risen by 10 to 25%<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    As a result of these increasing costs, I’m feeling that I need to increase the prices of my fly rods, nets and wading staffs.\u00a0 Any orders placed over the last days of this year will be at my current prices.\u00a0 Starting January 1st, 2025, the updated prices will be in place.<\/p>\n

    All two tip bamboo fly rods will be $2395<\/p>\n

    All nets will be $600<\/p>\n

    All wading staffs will be $600<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Best Regards,<\/p>\n
